The product, in the report: Toddleroo by North States 26”-42” Supergate Explorer Baby Safety Gate, Gray Plastic

I sliced my index finger open along a hidden edge of a Toddleroo by North States 26”-42” Supergate Explorer Baby Safety Gate, that was purchased from Walmart on August 17, 2025. I was trying to adjust the width when installing it this evening (to use as a dog gate), and cut my finger on the adjuster slide part. I have already had a couple of minor injuries to my fingers from using this gate, but this is the first time I have been cut by it.

The product, in the report: We bought them from Target. Here is the product name and link. Toddleroo by North States Superyard Colorplay Baby Gate Extensions and Installation Kit - 4pc https://www.target.com/p/toddleroo-by-north-states-superyard-colorplay-baby-gate-extensions-and-installation-kit-4pc/-/A-85457691 Toddleroo by North States Superyard Colorplay 6 Panel Freestanding Gate https://www.target.com/p/toddleroo-by-north-states-superyard-colorplay-6-panel-freestanding-gate/-/A-13971309#lnk=sametab

My 19-month son fell off inside the playpen made by North States (Toddleroo by North States Superyard Colorplay 6 Panel Freestanding Gate, Toddleroo by North States Superyard Colorplay Baby Gate Extensions and Installation Kit - 4pc). The plastic part of the playpen cut his forehead very deep. He got a lot of bleeding when he fell down and we took him to emergent care immediately. The doctor gave him three stitches. I think this playpen was not safe because it had many hard plastic sharp parts when we examined what exactly happened when he fell down. Please please take a look at their playpen products. We don’t want any kids to have a face cut when they fall down.

The company’s comments, in its own words

(3/13/2023) North States Industries, Inc.: North States Industries, Inc. first received notice of this incident on February 27, 2023 when it received an email from the CPSC regarding this claim. North States immediately contacted the customer at the contact information provided by the customer in the CPSC report. The customer was very responsive, and several emails were exchanged between the customer and North States’ customer service team. Per North States’ request, the customer agreed to send the product to North States for investigation. North States provided the customer with a pre-paid shipping return label for this purpose. North States is currently awaiting the return of the product, upon which North States will immediately commence testing and investigation into the issues addressed in the customer’s claims.
North States has checked its records related to its Superyard models with doors like the product at issue here, and has received no similar recent reports made by any customers that this product has caused a laceration on a child during reasonably anticipated use, or any other complaints of sharp edges or points. Randomly selected production samples of North States Superyards are regularly tested by a CPSC-recognized third party laboratory, and are certified to be compliant with all applicable technical standards, which include: ASTM F1004-21 Safety Standard for Gates and Enclosures (16 CFR Part 1239) 16 CFR 1500.48 Technical requirement for determining a sharp point 16 CFR 1500.49 Technical requirement for determining a sharp edge
Nonetheless, as stated above, once the product is received back from the customer who reported this incident, NSI will perform a full investigation, including review of the product with an independent CPSC-accredited laboratory, and will communicate with the customer accordingly. (5/3/2023) North States Industries, Inc.: NSI received the product back from the customer, who shipped it using a pre-paid shipping return label provided by NSI following notification of this incident. The customer also emailed NSI copies of photos of the area of the product that allegedly caused the incident. NSI’s investigation consisted of a review of the photographs provided the customer, visual inspection of the returned product with and without magnification, and testing for any sharp areas in accordance with 16 CFR 1500.48 (technical requirements for determination of sharp points) and 16 CFR 1500.49 (technical requirements for determination of sharp edges). No sharp edges or points were found, and the testing confirmed that the product conformed with 16 CFR 1500.48 and 16 CFR 1500.49.
It was also noted through NSI’s visual inspection that the product showed evidence of hard usage, including dirt and other debris in several places. There was no visual indication of blood or bodily fluid on the product. The area around the latch of the product, which was identified by the customer as the area causing injury, was examined with 3x magnification and appeared to have a foreign textile/fibrous material wrapped around it that has since been removed. Such material is not used in the manufacture of the product and would not have been attached to the product at the time of sale. See attached photograph.
Finally, it should be noted that when the door panel of the product is closed, the latch is designed to be fully recessed, as shown in the attached photograph. It is not clear from the information received from the customer whether the incident occurred when the door panel was closed or opened. However, the instructions and warnings that accompany the product at the time of sale (attached hereto) mandate that the product should only be used when the latch is securely engaged and the access door is securely locked in place, among other instructions such as never leaving a child unattended in the product. Had the latch of the product been engaged and the access door closed and locked in place when the customer used it with their child, the latching mechanism would have been recessed in the manner depicted in the attached photograph.

The company’s comments, in its own words

(12/29/2022) North States Industries, Inc.: Because no customer contact information was provided in the subject report, and in fact the consumer declined to release their contact information in the report, North States Industries could not reach out directly to the customer to perform an investigation into the claims alleged in this report. However, North States has reviewed its customer service communication logs and has found that on the same date the subject report was made to the CPSC by a consumer, a customer reached out to North States indicating that two gates they purchased from Amazon broke at the plastic hinge. The customer indicated that they contacted Amazon and were told that Amazon would not offer a replacement and would only offer a partial refund for the products. North States responded that the customer should reach out to the retailer if the purchase was still within the retailer’s return/warranty period. If the purchase was not within the retailer’s return/warranty period, North States instructed that the customer could make a warranty claim directly with North States by providing the appropriate warranty information to North States, including a photo or video of the alleged defect in the product, the date of manufacture and proof of purchase of the products. To date, the customer has not provided any information necessary to process a warranty claim, has not returned the product to North States, and has shared no photos or videos of the alleged defect with North States.
Whether or not the customer who reached out to North States as set forth above is the same customer who made the subject report to the CPSC is unknown. Nonetheless, North States is interested in obtaining the subject products back from the customer and the consumer who made the subject report to the CPSC so that it can perform an inspection to investigate the reported claim. Based on the limited information provided in this report, the unavailability of the products at issue for the purpose of conducting a further investigation at this time, and the fact that no similar claims have been made by customers to North States other than the communication described above, North States can only conclude that no safety hazard exists with respect to the Toddleroo Model 5348 Woodcraft 30 inch gates.
