LIVACTI Safety Gate Recall Lawsuit | 2025 Latest Updates

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.
