Latest Cumbor Safety Gates Recall Updates

January 22, 2026: CPSC Announces the Cumbor Safety Gate Recall

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission and Aborder Products announced Recall No. 26-209 for the recalled Cumbor gates [1]. CPSC says the design can trap a child’s torso where the gate meets the floor. That design flaw creates a serious entrapment risk and does not meet the mandatory federal safety standard. The recall asks consumers to stop using the gate and offers a refund once it is destroyed.

Which Cumbor Safety Gates Are Affected?

The recall covers one Cumbor gate model, identified by these details:

• Model name “Retractable Safety Gate,” model number S5V2, and cohort number A202504S5V2A001, all printed on a label sewn to the mesh screen
• Frame color: black, gray, or white, on the gate’s metal frame
• Size: about 34 inches high, adjustable to fit openings up to 55 inches wide

Aborder Products imported the gates and sold about 4,520 of them in the United States. The sale ran on Amazon.com in September 2025, at a price of about $40 each. Consumer Reports independently confirmed the Amazon.com sale [2]. No retailer other than Amazon.com is named in the recall notice. Every gate matching these details falls under this recall.

Why Were the Cumbor Safety Gates Recalled?

Cumbor retractable safety gates were recalled because a gap between the gate and the floor can let a young child’s torso pass through it. CPSC calls this an entrapment hazard that can cause a serious injury or death. That gap violates the mandatory federal standard for expansion gates and expandable enclosures. The standard limits how much space a gate may leave near the floor. When a child’s torso can fit through that space, the child can become trapped. CPSC identifies the recalled gate as model S5V2. Aborder Products imported this gate and sold it in the United States under the Cumbor brand name.

Reported Incidents, Injuries, or Illnesses

CPSC had received no reports of injury, illness, or death linked to the Cumbor safety gate. That was true when it announced the recall on January 22, 2026. An absence of reported incidents does not mean the entrapment hazard cannot cause harm. CPSC classified the gap as a risk of serious injury or death. The recall aims to remove that hazard before an injury happens. Because of that classification, CPSC and Aborder Products moved directly to a stop-use-and-refund remedy rather than a repair, and the agency encourages consumers to report any injury, even though a report alone does not establish that the gate caused it.

What Should Consumers Do?

Consumers who own a recalled Cumbor safety gate should take the following steps:

1. Stop using the recalled Cumbor gate right away, even if it has not failed yet.
2. Cut completely through the gate’s mesh screen to destroy it, so no one can use it again.
3. Take a clear photo of the destroyed gate that shows the cut mesh.
4. Email that photo to recall@cumbor.cn to request a full refund from Aborder Products.
5. Call Aborder Products at 800-539-9594, or visit cumborgates.com/recall, with questions about the refund process.
6. Report any injury or safety concern involving the gate to CPSC.
7. Keep the model number and cohort number handy when you contact Aborder Products or CPSC.
