How do I check if my baby gate is recalled?

Find the model number on the product's rating label, then type it into the model-number lookup on this page.

No match is not proof that a product is safe. 12 of the 24 notices here list model numbers. They also name date codes or manufacture dates in 3. The place they name most often is “on a sticker under the handle panel”.

What should I do if my baby gate is recalled?

Follow the remedy in the official notice and contact the firm it names. Across baby gate recalls, the remedies offered most often are refund (14).
