LIVACTI Safety Gate Recall Lawsuit | 2026 Latest Updates

In July 2025, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission recalled roughly 1,400 LIVACTI Retractable Safety Gates. The gates have an entrapment hazard. The gap between the gate and the floor is wide enough for a child’s torso to fit through. Qeyan and Yanyanny sold the retractable mesh gates, model LT-BG01-3, on Amazon. The sale ran from December 2024 through April 2025, for $55 to $75. No injuries have been reported, and the remedy is a full refund. Consumers who own one of these gates should stop using it immediately. The recall remains open: CPSC has not published a closure or completion notice for it.

July 24, 2025: CPSC Announces Voluntary Recall

The Consumer Product Safety Commission issued the recall notice on July 24, 2025. It announced a voluntary recall covering an estimated 1,400 units of the LIVACTI Retractable Safety Gate [1]. The sellers listed the gates on Amazon during the sale period described above. CPSC found that the recalled gates fail the federal expansion-gate standard because of the entrapment gap described above.

Which LIVACTI Safety Gates Are Affected?

This recall covers one model of LIVACTI gate, described below:

• Model LT-BG01-3 retractable mesh safety gate, sold in white, gray, or black
• Gate measures about 34 inches high and retracts to a width of up to 140 inches
• Gate has an iron frame with a mesh safety panel that spans the doorway
• “Retractable Safety Gate” and model number LT-BG01-3 appear on a label on the gate’s side post

These recalled gates were sold exclusively online through Amazon.com before CPSC issued the recall notice in July 2025. No other LIVACTI gate models, sizes, or colors are included in this recall.

Why Were the LIVACTI Safety Gates Recalled?

The LIVACTI Safety Gates were recalled because they violate the mandatory federal safety standard for expansion gates and expandable enclosures. Specifically, the entrapment gap described above can trap a young child’s chest and abdomen, leading to serious injury or death. Gates sold for home use must meet this federal standard before they can legally be sold. CPSC’s review of the LIVACTI gate found the opening did not meet that requirement. CPSC and the sellers, Qeyan and Yanyanny, agreed to a voluntary recall rather than a mandatory recall order. It covers all of the units sold. The action addresses the standards violation directly. That holds regardless of whether a specific incident involving a child has been reported to CPSC.

Reported Incidents, Injuries, or Illnesses

CPSC’s recall notice reports no injuries, entrapments, or deaths connected to the LIVACTI Safety Gates. That count stood at zero as of the July 24, 2025 announcement. A recall with no reported incidents can still involve a real hazard. The absence of a reported injury does not mean the entrapment risk is any less serious. The recall notice does not specify how many reports CPSC received before issuing the recall order. It only shows that the agency identified a standards violation during its review process. Consumers who believe their child was trapped or injured by one of these gates can report the incident. CPSC’s channel for this is SaferProducts.gov, which keeps the agency’s data current.

What Should Consumers Do?

Anyone who owns a LIVACTI Retractable Safety Gate should take the following steps:

1. Stop using the gate immediately, even if it appears to be working normally.
2. Destroy the gate by cutting completely through the mesh panel so it cannot be reused.
3. Take a photo clearly showing the destroyed gate and keep it for your records.
4. Email the photo of the destroyed gate to support@livactihome.com to start the refund process.
5. Contact Qeyan and Yanyanny toll-free at 833-980-0055, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Pacific time Monday through Friday, or by email at support@livactihome.com, with any questions about the refund.
6. Report the gate’s entrapment hazard to CPSC at SaferProducts.gov if you have not already done so.

Legal Options

Filing Deadlines

State law sets the deadline for filing a product-liability claim over this recall. The CPSC notice itself does not set one. The time allowed depends on where the person lives. It also depends on when the injury and its underlying cause were first discovered. A missed filing deadline can end a claim outright, no matter how strong the underlying facts are. Anyone considering a claim over this recall should talk to a lawyer promptly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I Need to Wait for a Lawsuit to Be Filed Before Contacting a Lawyer?

Waiting for a lawsuit to be filed is not necessary before contacting a lawyer about a LIVACTI Safety Gate claim. Schmidt & Clark reviews potential claims even before a lawsuit is filed, so a case review can start right away. That has held true through September 2026.

How Do I Get a Refund for a Recalled LIVACTI Safety Gate?

Getting a refund for a recalled LIVACTI Safety Gate has no stated deadline under CPSC Recall No. 25-401. Follow the refund steps listed above, under What Should Consumers Do. Destroy the gate, photograph it, and request the refund.

What Model of LIVACTI Safety Gate Is Recalled?

The recalled LIVACTI Safety Gate, covered by CPSC Recall No. 25-401, is model LT-BG01-3, sold in white, gray, and black. Beyond the model number on the gate itself, the LIVACTI name also appears on the product’s original packaging.

Who Imported the Recalled LIVACTI Safety Gates?

Lichang E-Commerce, Inc., of Hacienda Heights, California, imported the recalled LIVACTI Safety Gates. The gates were sold by Qeyan and Yanyanny, two Shenzhen, China-based sellers. They were manufactured in China before being shipped to the United States for sale on Amazon.

Can I File a Claim If My Child Was Never Actually Trapped?

Whether a child was actually trapped by the gate does not automatically decide whether a claim is possible. Every family’s situation differs, and only an individual case review can confirm whether a specific claim qualifies.

Were Any LIVACTI Safety Gates Recalled Outside the United States?

No, the recalled LIVACTI Safety Gates were not sold or recalled outside the United States. The CPSC notice lists units sold only through Amazon.com domestically, with no separate Canadian or other-country count. A search for foreign class actions and regulator notices did not find any naming LIVACTI.
