Hoovy Cooling Gel Insert Pads Recalled for Burn Hazard Risk

AMTRADING is recalling about 20,000 Hoovy Cooling Gel Insert Pads for car seats and strollers because the gel can become dangerously hot in sun or warm cars, causing burns. One child has suffered second-degree burns requiring medical attention.

What this means for you

Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: A second-degree burn injury requiring medical attention has been reported, meeting the rubric criterion for 'significant injury reports' which scores as Severe. The documented harm to a child exceeds theoretical-hazard thresholds.

Plain-English summary

AMTRADING LLC is recalling approximately 20,000 Hoovy Cooling Gel Insert Pads designed for use in car seats and strollers. The recalled pads are black with the Hoovy logo in white on the bottom right corner, measuring approximately 16.5 inches long by 14.25 inches wide. These pads contain an inner cooling layer that activates when a child's weight is applied.

The cooling gel can become excessively hot if the pads are left in direct sunlight or in a hot car. This poses a significant burn hazard to young children. The company has received one consumer report of a child who suffered second-degree burns to the back while using the product, requiring medical attention.

The recalled cooling pads were sold at Target stores nationwide and online through Target.com and Walmart.com between March 2025 and July 2025, priced between $20 and $25.

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled product. AMTRADING is offering a full refund.
