What’s the Problem?

On July 24, 2025, approximately 1,400 retractable mesh safety gates (model LT‑BG01‑3) sold via Amazon by Qeyan and Yanyanny were recalled which violate mandatory federal safety standards by allowing the possibility of a child’s torso becoming trapped between the gate bottom and the floor, posing a serious risk of injury or death by entrapment.

These gates, sold in white, gray, and black and spanning up to 140 inches in width, were priced between $55–$75 and are manufactured in China and imported by Lichang E‑Commerce.

Although no entrapment incidents have been reported, the Consumer Product Safety Commission warns families to discontinue use immediately. Although we are unaware of any lawsuits filed yet, we are actively investigating potential claims involving entrapment injuries, fractures, and wrongful death.

FDA/CPSC Reports and Statistics

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission initiated the recall on July 24, 2025 due to non-compliance with the mandatory standard for expansion gates and enclosures, emphasizing an unacceptably large gap that allows a child’s torso to pass under the gate.

  • Authorized recall units: ~1,400
  • Hazard: Entrapment due to gap violation
  • Remedy: Full refund after disabling gate and submitting photographic proof.
  • Reported incidents: 0
