Babyjoy High Chair Lawsuit | 2025 Latest Update

Update: BabyJoy Folding High Chairs Recalled Over Entrapment, Injury Hazards

April 10, 2025: Costway is recalling about 1,400 Babyjoy Convertible 6-in-1 High Chair Activity Centers which violate the federal regulations for high chairs and stationary activity centers, as they “… pose a deadly entrapment hazard because the leg openings in the seat of the stationary activity center are too wide and a child can become entrapped in it,” according to the CPSC [1].

The recalled high chairs were sold in beige (model BB5693YW) and gray (model BB5693GR), and have the word “Babyjoy” printed on the front of the removable tray. “Goplus Corp.” is printed on a label located on the back of the seat.

The CPSC Recall Number for this item is 25-222.

The CPSC and Costway issue a nationwide recall for approximately 970 units of BabyJoy Convertible High Chair Activity Centers. Class action attorneys began reviewing claims for affected consumers whose children may have suffered injuries associated with the recalled chairs.

What’s the Problem?

February 27, 2025: A CPSC Recall Notice affects Costway’s Babyjoy high chairs sold in pink (model BB5656PI), beige (model BB5656BE) and gray (model BB5656GR) [2].

“The recalled high chairs pose a fatal suffocation risk because they were marketed, intended, or designed for infant sleep, and they have an incline angle greater than 10 degrees in violation of the federal Safe Sleep for Babies Act,” CPSC said. “In addition, the high chair poses a deadly entrapment hazard because the opening between the seat and tray is large enough that a child can become entrapped in it, which is a violation of the federal regulations for high chairs.”

Affected high chairs have a footrest, a detachable tray, pink or gray or beige seat cushion with stars, and four static wheels with locks. The high chair can be adjusted for different heights and recline positions. “Babyjoy” is printed on the front of the detachable tray.

The recalled Babyjoy High Chairs were sold online at Amazon.com, Walmart.com, Costway.com and Shein.com from November 2022 through November 2024 for between $70 and $110.

If you purchased a Babyjoy High Chair that is affected by this recall, you should stop using it immediately and contact Costway for a full refund and instructions on how to return or dispose of the high chairs.

This recall began on February 27, 2025.

The CPSC Recall Number for this item is 25-166.
