Wee Gallery Baby Tummy Time Gallery Recalled for Phthalate Violation

Wee Gallery is recalling about 8,000 Baby Tummy Time Gallery products because the clear plastic pockets contain phthalate levels that exceed federal limits. Phthalates are toxic if ingested by young children.

What this means for you

Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Our severity reasoning: This is a voluntary precautionary recall by a non-federal agency (CPSC) involving a regulatory violation with no reported injuries or illnesses. The hazard is theoretical rather than confirmed harm, placing it in the Moderate category per the rubric.

Plain-English summary

Wee Gallery Inc. is recalling the Baby Tummy Time Gallery, a fabric trifold panel with clear plastic pockets designed to hold art cards. The product was sold separately or as a bundle with art cards from October 2022 through July 2024.

The clear plastic coverings on the art card pockets contain levels of phthalate that exceed the federal phthalates ban. Phthalates are toxic if ingested by young children and can cause adverse health effects.

Approximately 8,000 units were sold in the United States (plus about 50 in Canada) through independent toy stores nationwide and online retailers including weegallery.com, amazon.com, bloomingdales.com, and babylist.com, priced at about $38 when sold separately or approximately $54 as part of a bundle. No injuries or illnesses have been reported.

Consumers should immediately stop using the product and contact Wee Gallery for disposal information and a refund of $39.95. Wee Gallery and Amazon.com are contacting all known purchasers directly. Consumers can reach Wee Gallery at 800-282-5149 (9 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET Monday–Friday), via email at [email protected], or online at weegallery.com/tummytimerecall.
