Overview

• Backyard Kids, LLC is voluntarily recalling about 192,000 KidKraft Farm to Table Model Play Kitchens after regulators identified that accessory hooks can catch children’s clothing and pose strangulation risks.
• The company advises consumers to stop using the affected play kitchens immediately, remove the original hooks and contact Backyard Kids for free replacement hooks.
• Cosco has recalled 302,000 folding step stools following 34 reports of safety-bar detachment or breakage that led to two head injuries and is distributing repair kits.
• The recalled items were sold online at KidKraft.com, Amazon and Walmart from 2018 through July 2025 with prices ranging between $120 and $270.
• The dual recalls underscore intensified oversight by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission and the complexities of executing large-scale fixes after corporate restructuring.
