What this CPSC product recall tells you, and what most readers miss
This notice was issued by CPSC on June 3, 2026 and geographically references United States.

What Happened
PandaEar is recalling portable hook-on chairs because they violate the mandatory standard for portable hook-on chairs. The crotch restraints can be removed without the use of a tool, allowing infants to fall through an opening and posing a deadly fall hazard.
Which Products Are Affected
The recall involves two models of PandaEar portable hook-on chairs with a black or gray metal frame covered with black, gray, or blue (dinosaur theme) polyester and cotton material. "Panda Ear" appears on a label stitched to the side of the fabric seats. Model C2102 is marked on a label on the bottom of the fabric seats; there are no markings for model BTC-51. About 9,700 units were sold online at Amazon.com from February 2022 through November 2025 for about $25. The products were distributed by PandaEar of Lake Dallas, Texas and Rockville, Maryland, and manufactured in China.
What You Should Do
Consumers should stop using the recalled chairs immediately and contact PandaEar to receive a full refund. 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_recall@outlook.com.
Why This Matters
The hazard poses a risk of serious injury or death from falls.
