Federal regulators are telling parents to stop using a line of baby strollers immediately, warning that a gap in the frame can trap a child. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission issued a safety warning on B. Childhood High Landscape strollers on June 11, 2026, urging owners to stop using them and dispose of them because an opening between the seat and grab bar can allow a baby to become entrapped.
Why this is a warning, not a standard recall
The distinction in how the CPSC handled this case is significant. Rather than a company-initiated recall with a refund or repair, the agency issued a direct consumer warning after the seller failed to cooperate. The CPSC says it sent a Notice of Violation to B. Childhood, of Chino, California, and that the company did not respond. When a firm is unresponsive, the agency can still warn the public on its own, which is what happened here.
The hazard is an entrapment risk: an opening between the stroller seat and the grab bar can allow a baby to become entrapped, which the CPSC says poses a risk of death or serious injury. That defect is why the product violates the mandatory federal standard for strollers, which exists specifically to prevent gaps a child’s body or neck can slip into.
Which strollers are affected
The warning involves all B. Childhood High Landscape baby strollers. They are black and foldable with golden metal accents, a brown handle and brown grab bars, and they are sold as part of a 2-in-1 travel system with a seat that converts into a bassinet, plus a hand-held infant carrier accessory. “Model Number V9” is printed on a label on the back of the stroller seat, which owners can use to confirm they have an affected unit.
According to the notice, the strollers were sold on Shein.com for about $230, and the CPSC says the product may also have been sold by various third-party sellers and on other websites. The seller is listed as B. Childhood, of Chino, California, and the strollers were manufactured in China. The warning carries the number 26-549.
Because there is no participating company offering a remedy, the CPSC’s instruction is blunt. It urges consumers to stop using the strollers immediately and dispose of them, and it specifically tells owners not to sell or give the strollers away. That last point matters: passing a hazardous product to another family or reselling it secondhand simply moves the risk to a new child.
What parents should do and what it signals
For anyone who owns one of these travel systems, the practical step is to stop using the stroller now, check the seatback for the “Model Number V9” label, and dispose of it rather than continuing to use it or handing it down. Consumers who have already had a safety incident with the product can report it to the CPSC through SaferProducts.gov, which helps the agency track hazards and build cases.
The warning also fits a pattern the CPSC has emphasized repeatedly: children’s products sold through fast-fashion and marketplace platforms that do not meet U.S. safety standards, sometimes from sellers who do not engage when regulators flag a violation. In those situations, a public warning is often the strongest tool available, since the agency cannot compel a refund from a company that ignores its notices. The related listings the CPSC groups alongside this warning include recalls of dressers, teething toys, baby bottles and nursing pillows for tip-over, choking or suffocation concerns, reinforcing that juvenile products from online sellers are an active enforcement priority.
What remains unresolved is any remedy for buyers. Unlike a recall, this warning does not come with a refund or replacement, so the cost of disposal falls on the consumer. That gap is itself part of the story: when a seller does not respond to a Notice of Violation, the safety system can protect the public by warning them, but it cannot easily make an unresponsive company pay for the mistake. For parents, the immediate priority is simpler than the policy question, which is to get an unsafe stroller out of use before a child is harmed.
