Over 9,000 Babyletto Recliners Recalled Due to Overheating USB Port Hazard

According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, Bexco Enterprises has recalled more than 9,000 Babyletto Kiwi Electronic Recliner and Swivel Gliders due to a risk of the built-in USB port overheating and sparking. Sold online and through major retailers between May 2023 and February 2025, the affected recliners pose a potential safety threat and should no longer be used until repaired.

The recall applies to chairs with specific SKUs and batch numbers, identifiable by a label under the footrest. These units, available in a variety of fabric colors and wood base combinations, feature two USB charging ports embedded in the chair arm. The manufacturer has reported 37 incidents of the USB module overheating, smoking, or sparking, including one minor injury. No structural fires or property damage have been documented.

Consumers who own a recalled unit are urged to immediately stop using the chair and register at babylettorecall.com to receive a free repair kit and detailed installation instructions. Once the repair is completed, the original USB module should be safely discarded in household trash.

The chairs were sold for approximately $800 through Crate Kids, Amazon, Target, Pottery Barn Kids, Wayfair, and other major online platforms. While the majority of the 9,030 recalled units were sold in the United States, six units were distributed in Canada. Manufactured in China, the chairs were imported by Bexco Enterprises of Pico Rivera, California.

Residents who believe they have a recalled model should verify the batch number listed on the white label beneath the footrest and contact the company using the toll-free hotline or support email. The company is providing repair kits at no cost, ensuring that consumers do not need to return the chairs for correction.
