A recall has been issued for a gel insert for car seats and strollers that was sold at Target stores nationwide after a child received medical attention with second-degree burns to his back.
The U.S Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) announced that about 20,000 units of the Hoovy Cooling Gel Insert Pads for Car Seats and Strollers were being recalled because they can become hot if left in the sun or a hot car, posing a burn hazard to young children.
The products were sold at Target stores nationwide, and online at Target.com and Walmart.com.
The CPSC said the insert pads contain an inner cooling layer that is activated by a child’s weight. The Hoovy logo appears in white on the bottom right corner of the product.
The recalled cooling pads are approximately 16.5 inches long by 14.25 inches wide and were sold between March 2025 through July 2025 for between $20 and $25.
