Important Safety Information
In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and Health Canada, Backyard Kids, LLC is voluntarily recalling KidKraft Farm to Table Model Play Kitchens, originally manufactured by KidKraft, Inc. You can review the Press Release for this recall here.
These products pose a strangulation and asphyxia hazard and a risk of serious injury or death to young children who are climbing on the counter or crawling through the opening at the back of the play kitchens. Children’s clothing can get caught on the hooks used to hold kitchen accessories, such as play pots and pans.
Backyard Kids has recently learned that in February 2023 in Oregon, a 23-month-old child was asphyxiated after his shirt got caught on one of the hooks while climbing and crawling through the opening at the back of the play kitchen where the toy kitchen accessories are held. The child was unable to rescue himself and died from strangulation and asphyxia.
Neither KidKraft, Inc. nor Backyard Kids have received any other reports of the hooks catching a child’s garment or injuring a child.
Product Description
This recall is for all KidKraft Farm to Table Model Play Kitchens, Model 53411. The model number 53411 is on a sticker on the back of the product. If you need help determining whether your play kitchen is included in this recall, please contact us for further assistance.
The recalled play kitchens were originally imported by KidKraft, Inc. from 2018 to 2023. KidKraft, Inc. distributed and sold the products until May 2024. KidKraft, Inc. has filed for bankruptcy and is not able to conduct a recall. Backyard Kids purchased the remaining 2,900 units from KidKraft, Inc. in June 2024, and continued distribution of the products under the KidKraft brand. Backyard Kids sold approximately 400 units to retailers/consumers. Since KidKraft, Inc. is not able to conduct a recall, Backyard Kids has voluntarily agreed to provide free replacement hooks (which hold toy accessories) to all consumers in the US with affected units as part of this recall. Backyard Kids also will provide free replacement hooks to Canadian consumers who purchased play kitchens that Backyard Kids sold to retailers/consumers.
