What this means for you
Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.
Our severity reasoning: The source text explicitly identifies a risk of "serious injury or death" and states the product violates a mandatory safety standard. Although no injuries have been reported, the hazard involves a high-risk scenario (fall hazard to infants) and structural design failure, meeting the Severe threshold.
Plain-English summary
PandaEar is recalling approximately 9,700 portable hook-on chairs (models BTC-51 and C2102) used to seat young children at dining tables. The chairs were sold online through Amazon.com from February 2022 through November 2025.
The recalled chairs violate the mandatory safety standard for portable hook-on chairs because the crotch restraints can be removed without using a tool. This design flaw creates a risk that infants could fall through an opening in the chair, posing a serious injury or death hazard.
No injuries have been reported to date. Consumers should stop using the recalled chairs immediately and contact PandaEar for a full refund by emailing [email protected]. Consumers will be asked to disassemble the product, cut the restraint straps and fabric seat, and email photographs clearly showing the destroyed product and model label to PandaEar.
