Certain Adjustable Child Carriers and Components Thereof; Inv. No. 337-TA-1514

The Commission determined not to review ALJ Order No. 15, an initial determination granting Ergobaby's motion to amend the complaint and notice of investigation in Inv. No. 337-TA-1514, and added Xiamen Danke Health Technology Co., Ltd. as a respondent. The investigation concerns certain adjustable child carriers and components thereof. The notice expands the respondent group in a Section 337 investigation over adjustable child carriers, so the added manufacturer is now exposed to any remedial orders if violations are found. The excerpt does not state the specific relief requested. The Commission instituted the investigation on July 27, 2026 on Ergobaby's complaint, as supplemented, alleging section 337 violations through importation, sale for importation, or sale after importation of adjustable child carriers. Asserted patents are U.S. Patent No. 10,426,275 (claims 1-3, 5, 6, 12, 16, and 17) and U.S. Patent No. 12,016,470 (claims 1, 6-11, 17, 18, and 22-25). Originally named respondents include Mabe, LLC; Quanzhou Baby Nice Infant and Child Products Co., Ltd.; Xiamen Funwhale Technology LLC; Xiamen New Baby Products Co., Ltd.; Koi Trading Services; Portier USA, LLC; Ava + Oliver, LLC; Artipoppe B.V.; and the three Bugaboo entities. Order No. 15 found good cause because Ergobaby learned of Xiamen Danke's role as manufacturer of certain accused products only from Xiamen NBB's response, and found no prejudice because those products are already in the investigation and it is at an early stage. No respondent opposed the motion and no petitions for review were filed; the Office of Unfair Import Investigations is not participating.
