This is CPSC recall 25-415, a voluntary repair recall that is ongoing. No lawsuit, class action or MDL has been filed over the play kitchen.
Latest KidKraft Farm to Table Play Kitchen Recall Updates
July 31, 2025: CPSC and Backyard Kids Announce the Recall
On July 31, 2025, the CPSC announced that Backyard Kids, LLC is recalling about 192,000 KidKraft Farm to Table Model Play Kitchens under recall 25-415 [1]. The notice reports one death.
July 31, 2025: Health Canada Posts the Joint Recall
Also on July 31, 2025, Health Canada posted the joint recall with the CPSC and Backyard Kids, LLC [2]. The notice is numbered RA-77783.
The notice says 12 units were sold in Canada by Backyard Kids and about 5,770 by KidKraft, Inc., which is no longer in business.
Which KidKraft Farm to Table Play Kitchens Are Affected?
The recall covers model 53411 of the Farm to Table play kitchen, as described in the CPSC notice and the Health Canada notice:
- Model 53411, primarily black and light gray with wood-like countertops
- Size of about 44 inches long, 13 3/4 inches wide and 43 inches high
- Manufactured in China
- Sold online at KidKraft.com, Amazon.com and Walmart.com for between $120 and $270
- UPC 706943534113, 706943010228 and 706943207277 on the outer box
The model number is on a sticker on the back of the play kitchen. Check that sticker first, because the UPC numbers appear only on the outer box.
Why Were the KidKraft Farm to Table Play Kitchens Recalled?
The play kitchens were recalled because a child’s clothing can get caught on the hooks that hold toy accessories. This poses a strangulation and asphyxia hazard.
The CPSC says the risk of serious injury or death applies to young children. They may be climbing on the counter or crawling through the opening at the back.
The KidKraft recall notice says KidKraft, Inc. filed for bankruptcy in May 2024 and is not able to conduct a recall [3]. So Backyard Kids took on the recall.
Reported Incidents, Injuries, or Illnesses
One death has been reported. In February 2023 in Oregon, a 23-month-old child was asphyxiated after his shirt got caught on one of the hooks. He could not free himself and died from strangulation and asphyxia.
The company says neither KidKraft, Inc. nor Backyard Kids received any other report of the hooks catching a child’s garment or injuring a child.
The company says it had no incident or injury reports from Canada as of July 30, 2025. These reports come from the company and the CPSC.
A recall report is not a finding of liability for any incident. Only a court can decide who is responsible for a death or injury.
What Should Consumers Do?
Follow these steps from the CPSC, Backyard Kids and Health Canada:
- Stop using the play kitchen immediately, as the CPSC and Backyard Kids advise.
- Remove and dispose of the original hooks, following the instructions at kidkraft.com, and take a photo showing the hooks removed.
- Complete the form on the recall page at www.kidkraft.com/pages/recall to receive free replacement hooks.
- Contact Backyard Kids toll-free at 800-882-0234, 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET, Monday through Friday, or email recall@kidkraft.com.
- Report any issue with the remedy to the CPSC through its recall complaint form.
Legal Options
Nobody has filed a lawsuit, class action or MDL over the play kitchen so far. A recall does not automatically settle who is liable or who may qualify.
A person whose child was hurt may ask a lawyer to review the facts of that child’s situation and the product involved.
Frequently Asked Questions
What Age Is the KidKraft Farm to Table Kitchen Made For?
The KidKraft Farm to Table kitchen is intended for children 3 years or older. A wooden dowel with metal or plastic hooks holds its toy pots and pans, and those hooks are the recalled part.
Who Is Backyard Kids and What Happened to KidKraft?
Backyard Kids, LLC of Plano, Texas is running the recall after KidKraft, Inc. went bankrupt. Backyard Kids bought the remaining 2,900 units from KidKraft, Inc. in June 2024 and took on the remedy.
Was the KidKraft Farm to Table Kitchen Recalled?
Yes, the KidKraft Farm to Table kitchen was recalled in the United States. The CPSC lists the remedy as a repair, and the KidKraft recall page says the company is voluntarily recalling the kitchens.
Was the KidKraft Recall Also Issued in Canada?

How Should I Anchor the KidKraft Play Kitchen?
To anchor the KidKraft play kitchen, keep it securely against a wall using the tip-over prevention kit, as Health Canada’s notice advises. The company will provide new tip-over prevention kits upon request.
How Did the Oregon Child Get Caught in the Hooks?
The Oregon child got caught in the hooks when, Health Canada’s notice says, the unit was not securely fastened to the wall. It says a gap between the unit and the wall let the child climb in, and his clothes became entangled with the hooks.
