Federal safety regulators have recalled a line of convertible baby high chairs sold on Amazon, warning that the seats were shipped without a required restraint system and can drop or trap a child. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission announced the recall of about 130 high chairs on November 26, 2025, citing both a fall hazard and a head-entrapment hazard. The agency says no injuries have been reported.
What is being recalled and why
The recall covers convertible baby high chairs sold in beige or pink with a matching removable seat cushion, a detachable tray and a footrest. The chairs convert into an infant swing and are reclinable and collapsible. Each carries “Product No.: HA-028” printed on a tracking label on the seatback, which is the marking parents can use to identify an affected unit.
According to the CPSC, the chairs violate the federal mandatory standard for high chairs because they were sold without the required attached restraint system. A high chair without a working harness can allow a baby to slide or climb out and fall. The agency also warns that a child’s head can become trapped in the opening between the seat and the tray, an entrapment risk the CPSC describes as potentially deadly.
Where the chairs were sold and who made them
The chairs were sold on Amazon.com from March 2025 through June 2025 for about $90, according to the recall notice. The listed retailer is Rotinyard, of Zhejiang, China, and the product was manufactured in China. The recall is logged under recall number 26-121.
The remedy is a refund, but the process asks consumers to take a specific set of steps. The CPSC says buyers should immediately stop using the chairs, disassemble them, cut the restraints and the fabric seat cushion insert, and email photos of the destroyed parts to Rotinyard at [email protected]. Once those photos are received, the company will issue a full refund. Cutting the restraints and cushion is a common condition in recalls of this kind, meant to ensure the hazardous item cannot be resold or passed along.
The CPSC reports that the firm has received no incidents or injuries tied to the chairs. That the recall proceeded anyway reflects how these actions work: a product that fails to meet a mandatory federal standard can be recalled on the risk it poses, not only after harm occurs.
What this means for parents
For families who bought one of these chairs, the practical step is straightforward. Stop using it now, check the seatback for the “HA-028” label to confirm, and follow the refund instructions rather than continuing to use a seat that lacks a proper harness. Regulators specifically flag the combination of a missing restraint and an entrapment gap because both failure modes involve a small child left unsupported in exactly the moments a high chair is supposed to keep them secure.
This recall also fits a broader pattern the CPSC has been highlighting: infant and toddler products sold by third-party sellers on large online marketplaces that fail to meet mandatory safety standards. The agency’s related notices from the same period include recalls of baby loungers, nursing pillows and hook-on chairs for similar fall, entrapment or suffocation concerns. The recurring theme is that a low price and a marketplace listing are not assurances a juvenile product meets federal rules.
Parents who want to reduce the odds of buying an unsafe seat can check whether a product’s listing references the relevant federal standard, look for a functioning five-point or similar restraint, and consult the CPSC’s recall database before purchase. Anyone who experiences a problem with a recalled product or a company that is unresponsive to a refund request can file a report through the CPSC. For this particular recall, the number of affected units is small, but the hazard the agency describes, a baby able to fall or become trapped, is the kind that gives a recall its urgency even in the absence of reported injuries.
