What’s the Problem?
This lawsuit concerns a recall of approximately 192,000 Kidkraft Farm to Table Model Play Kitchens due to metal or plastic hooks on the back which can snag children’s clothing when they climb or crawl through, posing a serious risk of strangulation and asphyxia.
One fatal incident occurred in Oregon in February 2023 involving a 23‑month‑old child. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission issued the recall on July 31, 2025.
Although no lawsuits have been filed against Backyard Kids, LLC or Kidkraft, Inc., we are actively investigating potential claims involving injuries such as strangulation, neck trauma, and emotional distress to children and families [1.].
