These gates, sold on Amazon under various names and sizes, violate federal safety regulations. A child’s body easily passes through gaps in these gates, the locking mechanisms fail, and the gates do not resist a child pushing out creating risks of entrapment, falls, and potentially fatal injuries.


About 1,800 units were sold exclusively on Amazon.com between June 2021 and March 2025.


Stop using these gates around your children. Wait for Amazon to contact you with instructions regarding item returns and refunds.  Since each gate was sold by a variety of companies through Amazon, the contact information for each company may be found at the CPSC link listed below.
