Latest Dearlomum Safety Gates Recall Updates

July 10, 2025: CPSC Announces Recall of Dearlomum Safety Gates

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) announced a voluntary recall of about 2,200 Dearlomum retractable mesh safety gates sold on Amazon.com by Signbaby, citing a torso-entrapment hazard between the gate and the floor [1]. The agency also arranged a full refund for purchasers, and the recalled gates leave enough clearance beneath the frame for a young child to slip through and become trapped, CPSC said.

Which Dearlomum Safety Gates Are Affected?

The recalled gates carry the model and batch numbers below, printed on a white label on the side of the gate:

• Model number “SH20.006D” and batch number “202412/T763,” printed on a white label on the side of the gate.
• Black, gray or white mesh with a metal frame, about 33 inches high and adjustable up to 55 inches wide.
• Sold only on Amazon.com from December 2024 through May 2025, for between $33 and $38.

Check the label on your gate for the model and batch numbers before assuming it is included in this recall. CPSC and Signbaby say about 2,200 of these gates reached buyers in the United States. If your gate matches the description above, treat it as recalled. This applies even if the batch number has become hard to read, since labels can wear or peel with use.

Why Were the Dearlomum Safety Gates Recalled?

Dearlomum retractable safety gates were recalled because a child’s torso can fit through the gap under the gate. That gap forms between the bottom of the gate and the floor. CPSC calls this an entrapment hazard. It says the design violates the federal safety standard for expansion gates and expandable enclosures nationwide. That standard exists to keep young children from squeezing through or becoming trapped in gaps around gates used at stairways and doorways. Once installed, the Dearlomum gates do not meet the standard’s required gap limits, CPSC said. CPSC’s finding led Signbaby to recall the gates voluntarily, arrange a full refund for purchasers, and issue instructions for how to destroy the affected gates.

Reported Incidents, Injuries, or Illnesses

CPSC’s recall notice for the Dearlomum retractable mesh safety gate lists no reported incidents, injuries or deaths connected to the roughly 2,200 gates covered, as of the recall announcement. CPSC classified the hazard as a risk of serious injury or death from entrapment, even though the notice reports no injury or illness connected to any of the recalled Dearlomum gates sold on Amazon.com. Families who believe a child was hurt by one of these Dearlomum gates can still notify CPSC directly at SaferProducts.gov or by calling 800-638-2772, referencing Recall No. 25-385, even without an earlier report, since the recall remains open.

What Should Consumers Do?

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

1. Stop using the recalled Dearlomum retractable safety gate right away, even if it looks undamaged.
2. Disassemble the gate and destroy it by cutting through the mesh so it cannot be reused or resold.
3. Take a clear photo showing the gate after it has been cut apart and destroyed.
4. Email the photo and a screenshot of your Amazon order confirmation to Signbaby at regcards.team@gmail.com to request your full refund [2].
5. Report any injury, near-miss or product problem to CPSC through SaferProducts.gov or by calling 800-638-2772.

Other Recalls, Warnings, or International Actions

Two weeks after the Dearlomum recall, CPSC announced a separate voluntary recall. About 1,400 LIVACTI retractable safety gates, model LT-BG01-3, were sold on Amazon by Qeyan and Yanyanny [3]. CPSC cited the same torso-entrapment gap hazard. That July 24, 2025 recall is a separate action from the Dearlomum gate covered on this page, though the gate design is similar.

Legal Options

No lawsuit tied to this recall has been filed against Signbaby, and no MDL has been formed. A recall does not automatically establish liability. At least one law firm is advertising for potential entrapment-injury claims tied to this recall. Accepting a refund is separate from pursuing any legal claim, and whether it affects your individual options is a question a lawyer can answer. Anyone considering a legal claim should keep records related to the gate and speak with an attorney about the available options.
