Thousands of baby and kids’ items sold on Amazon recalled—here’s what parents need to know

If you’ve ever filled your cart on Amazon at midnight with baby gear you hoped would make life easier, you’re not alone. Parents trust that what arrives on their doorstep will be safe for their little ones. But sometimes, products slip through with risks that aren’t obvious until it’s too late.

On Sept. 18, Amazon and the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) announced a wave of recalls affecting thousands of baby and kids’ products sold online between 2024 and 2025. The issues range from suffocation hazards to unsafe batteries—things no parent should have to worry about in their nursery.

Here’s what you need to know about each recall, and what steps you can take if these products are in your home.

1. Youbeien Crib Mobiles

For many parents, a crib mobile is a sweet part of the bedtime routine. But the Youbeien-branded crib mobiles are being recalled for a much more serious reason: button battery risks.

• Recalled units: ~3,000
• Sold: Amazon, May 2024–April 2025
• Price: About $20

The mobiles have a battery compartment that can be opened without tools. That makes the small, round button batteries inside dangerously accessible to children. Ingestion of these batteries can cause severe internal burns, injury, or even death. It’s unsettling when something meant to soothe your baby could instead put them in danger—but catching recalls like this one helps parents act quickly and keep bedtime safe again.

How to identify them:

• Packaging includes the “Youbeien” brand name in the top left corner.
• The words “music rotating bed bell” appear on the front and back.
• Model “RT668-17” is printed on a white label on the back.

What to do: Stop using the mobile immediately. Parents are asked to dispose of the product (or just the remote) and send a photo to the manufacturer, GKKBSJ, at gkkbsjtoys@outlook.com to receive a refund.

2. LXDHSTRA Baby Loungers and Crib Bumpers

Loungers are often marketed as cozy, convenient spots for babies—but these have been recalled for posing multiple, serious safety risks.

• Recalled units: ~360
• Sold: Amazon, May–August 2025
• Price: $30–$34

The issues include:

• Pads that are too thick, creating a suffocation hazard.
• Low sides and feet openings that put babies at risk of entrapment or falls.
• Crib bumpers, which are federally banned for their link to breathing obstructions and infant deaths.

It’s heartbreaking to think a product designed for comfort could put babies at risk. If you’ve been using this lounger, you’re not alone—many parents have leaned on similar products. The key now is to act quickly and swap it for safer alternatives.

How to identify them:

• Loungers sold in prints such as tan star, big elephant, green elephant, gray feather, and gray rainbow.
• Included a red-and-black padded crib bumper printed with letters A–F on one side and animal characters on the other.

What to do: Stop using the product immediately. To receive a refund, parents must cut the foam, pads, cover, and bumper in half, photograph the destroyed product, and send the images to lxdhstrarecall@gmail.com.

3. YooxArmor Multi-Purpose Kids’ Helmets

Helmets are meant to protect kids from injuries—but in this case, they may do the opposite.

• Recalled units: ~1,780
• Sold: Amazon, October 2024–July 2025
• Price: About $30

The helmets failed U.S. safety standards for impact absorption and stability. Without those protections, children are at higher risk of injury if the helmet is worn during a fall or collision.

Every parent wants to feel confident when sending their child out on a scooter or bike ride. That trust is shaken when a helmet doesn’t meet safety standards, but this recall ensures families can replace unsafe gear with true protection.

How to identify them:

• Sold in pink, size small, with a unicorn, rainbow, and star print.
• Black padding, black straps, a black-and-red buckle, and a black chin pad.

What to do: Stop using the helmet right away. To receive a refund, parents must cut off the straps, photograph the helmet, and email the photo to service@yooxarmor.com.

Why these recalls matter

While each recall is different, the thread connecting them is clear: children’s safety products should never come with hidden risks. From batteries that should be out of reach, to banned bumpers still slipping onto the market, to helmets that don’t protect—these recalls are a reminder of why vigilance matters.

What this means for parents

If you purchased any of these products, take action quickly: stop use, follow the recall instructions, and request your refund. And even if you don’t own these specific items, it’s worth bookmarking the CPSC recall page or Amazon’s own recall site to stay informed.

Parenting is full of enough worry without hidden dangers in your nursery. By staying alert to recalls and trusting your instincts, you’re doing exactly what your child needs most—keeping them safe.
