Nearly 200,000 KidKraft Farm to Table Model Play Kitchen sets are being recalled after a tragic incident led to the death of a toddler. The recall, announced by Backyard Kids, LLC and the Consumer Product Safety Commission, follows the death of a 23-month-old child who was strangled when his shirt got caught on a hook of the play kitchen set in February 2023.
The play kitchens, sold between 2018 and July 2025, pose a risk of strangulation and asphyxia if a child climbs on the counter or crawls through the opening in the back. The recalled units are black and light gray with wood-like countertops and measure 44 inches in length, 13 3/4 inches in width, and 43 inches high. They were intended for children aged three and above.
Although 192,000 units are impacted, only 400 were sold to consumers by Backyard Kids. The play kitchens were available online on Amazon, Walmart, and KidKraft's websites, retailing between $120 and $270.
Backyard Kids is offering free replacement hooks to consumers with affected units. They can be contacted via email at recall@kidkraft.com or by phone at (800) 882-0234, Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET.
KidKraft, Inc., which manufactured the sets, filed for bankruptcy in May 2024. As of now, no other incidents have been reported involving the hooks catching on children's clothing.
