BabyBond Retractable Safety Gates Recalled — Entrapment Hazard, Return to Target for Refund

If you bought a retractable mesh safety gate on Target.com in the past two years, it's worth checking the brand. Infant Innovations LLC, which sells under the BabyBond name, recalled approximately 280 retractable safety gates in January 2026 due to an entrapment hazard that may have gone unnoticed by many families who purchased the product.

What's Being Recalled

The recall covers BabyBond retractable mesh safety gates, model SH20.006DB. The gates are 33 inches high and adjustable up to 55 inches wide, and they came in black, gray, and white mesh. They were sold exclusively on Target.com from November 2024 through October 2025 at a price of approximately $50.

The hazard: the gap between the bottom of the gate and the floor is large enough for a young child's torso to pass through. That creates a real entrapment risk — a child could become stuck in the gap, which can cause serious injury. No incidents have been reported as of the recall date, but the CPSC issued Recall #26-168 on January 8, 2026 because the structural design poses a foreseeable danger.

Quick Reference

What to Do

The remedy is straightforward: stop using the gate and return it to any Target store for a full refund. You don't need the original receipt. The CPSC's guidance is to contact Infant Innovations directly for questions — their contact information is listed on the recall page at cpsc.gov.

If you're not sure whether your gate is the recalled model, check the label on the gate for the model number SH20.006DB, or look up your Target.com order history to confirm the product name and brand.

Check Resale Sources

Because only approximately 280 units were sold, some families may not be aware of the recall — particularly if the gate was purchased as a gift, received secondhand, or picked up through a baby gear resale group. If you have a retractable mesh gate from BabyBond in your home through any channel, check the model number and act accordingly.

What's Next

The full recall notice is at cpsc.gov — search for "BabyBond" or Recall #26-168. For questions, the CPSC hotline is 1-800-638-2772. If you return the gate to Target, staff should be able to process the refund at customer service without requiring a receipt.
