The 2025 Product Recalls Parents Need to Know About

Safety is a top priority in the world of baby products—there are numerous safety certifications and regulations to help monitor items on the market. But sometimes recalls can happen. 

In the event that a safety issue is found with a product that’s already being sold, recalls are issued by brands, manufacturers and federal regulatory organizations like the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Baby product recalls can include everything from toys and clothing to car seats and furniture to formula and baby food. (By the way, “dupe” baby products are much more likely to be recalled; make sure you’re buying real products from reputable brands.)

Recalls can happen for a variety of reasons, but the most important thing for parents and caregivers is to be aware of recalls when they happen and know what actions to take. Registering your product with the manufacturer (using the info on that little card that’s usually included in the packaging) will keep you up to date on any recalls involving that specific item. For general recall knowledge, you can always check this article for this year’s major baby product recalls, and you can also sign up for automatic recall alerts sent right to your email from the CPSC and FDA.

Here are the official recalls for baby products in 2025 so far. (Note: This list only contains baby product recalls by major brands or that affected more than 1,000 estimated units.)

• Sluggish pupils

• Low muscle tone
