CPSC Recalls 20,000 Hoovy Car-Seat and Stroller Gel Inserts Over Burn Hazard

Consumers are instructed to stop using the pads, with refunds provided through Hoovy’s $25 registration and photo verification process.

Overview

  • Federal regulators say the inserts can become hot in direct sun or a hot car, and one child was treated for second-degree burns linked to the product.
  • The recall covers Hoovy Cooling Gel Insert Pads imported by AMTRADING LLC of Brielle, N.J., manufactured in China, under CPSC recall number 25-476.
  • Units were sold March through July 2025 at Target stores nationwide and online at Target.com and Walmart.com for about $20 to $25.
  • Customers are told to contact Hoovy/AMTRADING for a refund, including by phone at 888-259-1411 or email at [email protected], rather than returning the item to a store.
  • Refunds require online registration and a photo of the pad cut in half with the customer’s initials and date, while retailers say they are blocking further sales and removing inventory.
