SALT LAKE CITY, UT — Two children’s products sold online are being recalled after federal safety regulators said they can create serious hazards for infants and young children. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission announced the recalls Nov. 5, warning that one playset can trap a child’s head or neck and that a nursing pillow can block an infant’s breathing.
The recalls involve Arlopu slide playsets and Kikea Store X-VESOLJE nursing pillows. Together, the products were sold in the tens of thousands through major online marketplaces, including Amazon and Walmart.com.
Arlopu slide playsets can trap a child’s head or neck
Arlopu is recalling about 10,318 slide playsets because openings in the unit can catch a child’s head or neck. The CPSC also said that on model KT-CS17, the basketball net can come unhooked and create a loop large enough to present an entanglement or strangulation risk.
The playsets were sold from April 2023 through August 2026 for $90 to $130. Model KT-CS17 is printed under the elevated platform, while model LY-31 appears on the upper back panel behind the slide.
Consumers are being told to stop using the playsets immediately and keep them away from children until they are fixed. Arlopu is offering a free repair kit that includes redesigned panels, basketball hoops and instructions.
One reported incident led to abrasions on a child’s neck
The company said it has received one report of an entrapment incident involving the playset. That incident caused abrasions on a child’s neck, according to the recall notice.
Consumers can contact Arlopu at [email protected] or 800-657-9218 to request the repair kit. The company has not said it is aware of additional injuries tied to the recalled playsets.
Safety officials say the warning applies to both recalled models, even though the specific basketball-hoop hazard was identified with model KT-CS17. Families who own the products are being urged to identify the model number before taking any further steps.
Kikea Store nursing pillows may block an infant’s breathing
Kikea Store is also recalling about 19,596 X-VESOLJE nursing pillows because the products may pose a suffocation hazard. The C-shaped pillows can obstruct an infant’s breathing, the CPSC said.
The pillows were sold on Amazon from April 2025 through June 2026 for $24 to $34. They were offered in white with a leaves pattern, dark brown with multicolored feathers, and a multicolored puzzle-piece pattern.
The recalled product is model NP001. Consumers are being told to stop using the pillow right away and contact Kikea Store for a full refund.
Buyers must destroy the pillow and send proof for a refund
To get the refund, customers must first confirm the pillow with the company. After that, Kikea Store will ask them to cut the pillow in half, email a photo of the destroyed product and then throw it away.
The company can be reached at [email protected]. Unlike the Arlopu recall, no injuries have been reported involving the nursing pillows.
Federal safety regulators say the two recalls address different dangers, but both involve products used by children and infants. The warnings are meant to remove the items from homes before a hazard turns into an emergency.
What parents should do if they own either recalled product
Parents and caregivers who own either item should stop using it immediately and move it out of reach of children. The CPSC’s instructions are different for each recall, so the next step depends on which product is in the home.
Owners of the Arlopu playsets should request the free repair kit and keep the product unused until the redesigned parts are installed. Owners of the nursing pillows should follow the refund instructions and destroy the pillow before disposal.
In both cases, the recalls were issued because the products can create preventable injuries during ordinary use. The safety agency’s notice emphasizes prompt action rather than continued use while waiting for replacement or refund arrangements.
