PandaEar Portable Hook-On Chair Recall 2026 – Fall Hazard Warning

Health Canada has issued a recall for the PandaEar Portable Hook-On Chair, Model BTC-51, due to a serious fall hazard. A total of 764 units sold across Canada are affected. The crotch restraint on the chair can be removed without a tool, creating an opening through which infants can fall, posing a significant risk of injury.

What Products Are Being Recalled?

The recall covers the PandaEar Portable Hook-On Chair, Model BTC-51. This chair is designed to seat young children at a dining table, featuring a black metal frame covered with grey polyester and cotton material and an attached restraint in the occupant seating area. Two metal arms with plastic covers on top anchor the chair to a dining table, suspending the child from the table surface. The affected units were manufactured in China and sold in Canada from May 2022 to July 2023.

Why Was This Recall Issued?

The recall was issued because the crotch restraint on the portable hook-on chair can be removed without the use of a tool.

However, given the serious risk to infant safety, Health Canada has acted to remove the product from use.
