Here’s what to know:
Babyjoy high chairs recalled
Why you should care:
The CPSC notice states that the recalled high chairs pose a "fatal suffocation risk because they were marketed, intended, or designed for infant sleep" with an incline angle greater than 10 degrees, which is in violation of the federal Safe Sleep for Babies Act. The high chair also poses a deadly entrapment hazard because the opening between the seat and tray is large enough that a child can become entrapped in it, according to the agency.
What we know:
The CPSC said the recall involves all of Costway’s Babyjoy high chairs, which are collapsible. They were sold in pink (model BB5656PI), beige (model BB5656BE) and gray (model BB5656GR), and have a footrest, a detachable tray, pink or gray or beige seat cushion with stars, and four static wheels with locks, according to the recall notice. The high chair can be adjusted for different heights and recline positions. "Babyjoy" is printed on the front of the detachable tray. "Goplus Corp." is printed on a label located on the back of the high chair’s seat. The model number appears on the product packaging.
No injuries have been reported, according to the CPSC.

The high chairs were sold on Amazon, Walmart.com, Costway.com and Shein.com between November 2022 and November 2024 for between $70 and $110. They were manufactured in China.
