  • You purchased a BabyBond retractable safety gate covered by the recall (model SH20.006DB).
  • A child’s torso entered or became stuck in the opening between the gate and the floor, or there was a close-call event consistent with the entrapment hazard described in the recall.

Evidence You Should Gather

  • Proof of purchase (Target order confirmation, receipt, or payment record).
  • Photos of the gate showing the stitched label with “Retractable Safety Gate” and model “SH20.006DB.”
  • Photos/notes describing installation height and floor gap (if safely available).
  • Medical records and itemized bills if an injury occurred.
  • Refund/return documentation, including any communications and refund confirmation.

Damages You Can Recover

Recoverable damages depend on state law and the facts of the incident, but may include:

  • Medical expenses: emergency care, hospitalization, follow-up treatment, and rehabilitation.
  • Out-of-pocket costs: transportation, medical supplies, and other incident-related expenses.
  • Lost wages: time missed from work by a parent/guardian or caregiver (case-specific).
  • Pain and suffering: case-specific damages tied to the injury and recovery.
  • Wrongful death damages: where permitted under state law (case-specific).

Depending on the evidence, child gate injury claims may be evaluated under product-liability frameworks such as:

  • Defective design: allegations that the gate allows a hazardous opening that can lead to torso entrapment in foreseeable conditions of use.
  • Strict product liability: claims that the product was unreasonably dangerous when sold.
  • Failure to warn: allegations involving inadequate warnings or instructions about installation and entrapment risk (case-specific).
  • Negligence: allegations involving reasonable care in design, testing, compliance, and safety labeling (case-specific).

Statute of Limitations & Timing
