What this means for you
Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.
Our severity reasoning: Scored 3 under the risk-of-harm criterion: the standards violation poses an entrapment hazard to children and the notice states no incidents have been reported.
Plain-English summary
Mom Genius Retractable Safety Gates are being recalled. The gate comes in black and gray with a retractable mesh screen between metal frames, measures about 33 inches high with a retractable width up to 118 inches, and has "Retractable Safety Gate" and model number SH.20.006B02 printed on a white label on the side.
The gates violate the mandatory standard for expansion gates and expandable enclosures because a child's torso can fit through the opening between the gate and the floor, posing a risk of serious injury or death due to entrapment. The CPSC notice states that no injuries or incidents have been reported.
About 920 units were sold on Amazon.com, Walmart.com, Purchasingpower.com and Perpay.com from March 2024 through June 2025.
Consumers should stop using the gates immediately and contact Mom Genius for a full refund. The gate must be destroyed by cutting through the mesh, and a photo showing the destroyed gate sent to [email protected]; the refund is issued once the photo is received.
