What was recalled

This recall involves the PandaEar Portable Hook-On Chair, Model BTC-51. The chair is used to seat young children at the dining table. The chair consists of a black metal frame covered with grey polyester and cotton material and an attached restraint in the occupant seating area. There are two metal arms with plastic covers on top that anchor to a dining table, and the child is suspended from the table.

Why it was recalled

The recalled portable hook-on chair poses a fall hazard because the crotch restraint can be removed without the use of a tool and infants can fall through an opening, posing a fall hazard.

As of June 12, 2026, the company has received no reports of incident or injury in Canada.

What to do

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled product 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 PandaEar at [email protected] with photographs clearly showing the destroyed product and model label.
