Portable hook-on high chairs from Ravmix, PandaEar and NBIIUYIGE have been recalled or flagged by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. The crotch restraint can be removed without a tool, so an infant can fall through an opening.
The Ravmix Model S006 recall came first, on June 5, 2025. Later actions named PandaEar and NBIIUYIGE chairs sold on Amazon.com. Owners should stop using all of these chairs.
So far the actions are recalls and warnings only. No lawsuit, class action or MDL over hook-on high chairs has been filed.

June 22, 2026: Health Canada Recalls PandaEar Hook-On Chair
On June 22, 2026, Health Canada announced a recall of the PandaEar Portable Hook-On Chair, Model BTC-51 [1]. The company reported 764 units sold in Canada from May 2022 to July 2023.
As of June 12, 2026, the company had received no reports of incident or injury in Canada. Consumers are told to contact PandaEar for a refund.

On May 21, 2026, the CPSC issued the PandaEar recall, number 26-502, of about 9,700 portable hook-on chairs [2]. Models BTC-51 and C2102 were sold on Amazon.com from February 2022 through November 2025 for about $25.
The recall was previously a Product Safety Warning. CPSC lists no incidents or injuries, and buyers receive a full refund.
April 9, 2026: CPSC Warns About NBIIUYIGE Hook-On Chairs
On April 9, 2026, CPSC issued a warning on NBIIUYIGE portable hook-on chairs, number 26-400 [3]. It told consumers to stop using the chairs and dispose of them.
About 5,800 were sold on Amazon.com from March 2024 to November 2025 for about $35. CPSC said NBIIUYIGE is unable to provide an acceptable remedy.
February 12, 2026: CPSC Warns About PandaEar Hook-On Chairs
On February 12, 2026, CPSC posted warning number 26-269 on PandaEar portable hook-on chairs [4]. It warned consumers not to keep using them.
About 8,950 were sold on Amazon.com. CPSC said it had asked PandaEar for a recall, but PandaEar had not agreed to an acceptable one. The warning was later replaced by a recall.
June 5, 2025: CPSC Announces Ravmix Recall
On June 5, 2025, CPSC announced the Ravmix recall, number 25-316, of about 1,000 portable hook-on chairs, Model S006 [5]. The chairs were sold exclusively on Amazon.com from September 2024 through March 2025.
They cost between $40 and $60. The remedy is a full refund, which Ravmix issues after buyers destroy the chair as directed.
What Is a Hook-On High Chair?
According to CPSC guidance, a portable hook-on chair is a seat made expressly to hold children who can sit up on their own [6].
It is usually a legless seat supported only by the table it is mounted on. The chairs are intended for children from age 6 months to 36 months who weigh no more than 37 lbs. (16.8 kg).
Who May Be Affected?
Parents and caregivers who bought a portable hook-on chair that clamps to a dining table may be affected. The notices name chairs from three brands, each sold on Amazon.com:
- Ravmix Model S006, with the model listed on the owner’s manual
- PandaEar Model C2102, with the model on a label under the seat, and Model BTC-51, which has no marking on the product
- NBIIUYIGE Model WHYG-01, with the model on a label stitched to the bottom of the seat
Check the manual and the seat label for your chair’s model. Then match the model to the notice for that brand.
A recall does not show that anyone has a legal claim. Only an individual legal review can say whether yours qualifies.
Reported Injuries or Damages
No incidents or injuries are reported in the Ravmix recall or the PandaEar recall, according to CPSC. Reports to CPSC are not proof that a chair caused any injury. No injury claim over these chairs has been filed in court.
The hazard is a fall. CPSC found that the Ravmix chair’s crotch restraint can come off without a tool, so infants can fall through an opening. CPSC calls this a risk of serious injury or death.
The federal rule incorporates ASTM F1235, according to CPSC. It includes an openings and passive crotch restraint system test. Chairs made after January 15, 2019 must meet ASTM F1235-18.
Recall and Regulatory Background
Ravmix and PandaEar buyers get a full refund. Owners disassemble the chair, cut the restraint straps and fabric seat, and email photos of the destroyed chair and its model label to the seller.
For NBIIUYIGE and the earlier PandaEar warning, CPSC says to dispose of the chair and not to sell or give it away.
Evidence to Preserve
Keep these items in one place in case a claim is ever reviewed:
- The chair itself, or clear photos of it taken before you dispose of it
- The model label and the owner’s manual that came with the chair
- The Amazon.com order record, including the price you paid
- Photos of the crotch restraint, the straps and the seat
- Emails with the seller, whether Ravmix, PandaEar or NBIIUYIGE, and with CPSC
- Medical records and photos of any injury to your child
Do not throw away the order record or the emails when you finish the remedy steps, because they show when and where you bought the chair.
Filing Deadlines
Filing deadlines come from state law. The time limit depends on your state and on when the injury and its cause came to light.
Once a state deadline passes, a claim can end even when the facts about the chair are strong. If a child has been hurt by a hook-on chair, talk to a lawyer promptly about the deadline that applies to you.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is There a Hook-On High Chair Recall Lawsuit?

Does a Hook-On High Chair Recall Mean I Can Sue?
A hook-on high chair recall does not by itself give anyone a right to sue. It shows that an agency found a safety problem with the chair. Whether a claim exists depends on the injury and the facts of each case.
How Do I Get a Refund for a Recalled Hook-On Chair?
To get a refund for a recalled hook-on chair, email the seller. Ravmix uses ravmix@outlook.com and PandaEar uses pandaear_recall@outlook.com. Ravmix is also contacting all known purchasers directly.

How Do I Report a Problem with a Hook-On Chair?
