SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

The Commission instituted this investigation on July 27, 2026, based on a complaint filed by Ergobaby of Torrance, California. 91 FR 46944-45 (July 27, 2026). The complaint, as supplemented, alleges violations of section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, 19 U.S.C. 1337, in the importation into the United States, the sale for importation, or the sale within the United States after importation of certain adjustable child carriers and components thereof by reason of infringement of claims 1-3, 5, 6, 12, 16, and 17 of U.S. Patent No. 10,426,275 and claims 1, 6-11, 17, 18, and 22-25 of U.S. Patent No. 12,016,470. Id. at 46945. The Commission's notice of investigation named the following respondents: Mabe, LLC of Shelley, Idaho; Quanzhou Baby Nice Infant and Child Products Co., Ltd. of Quanzhou City, China; Xiamen Funwhale Technology LLC and Xiamen New Baby Products Co., Ltd. (“Xiamen NBB”) of Xiamen City, China; Koi Trading Services of Diamond Bar, California; Portier USA, LLC of Sheridan, Wyoming; Ava + Oliver, LLC of Honolulu, Hawaii; Artipoppe B.V. of Lexmond, The Netherlands; Bugaboo Xiamen Industrial Co. Ltd. of Xiamen, China; Bugaboo International B.V. of Amsterdam, The Netherlands; and Bugaboo North America, Inc. of New York, New York. Id. The complaint further alleges that a domestic industry exists. Id. The Office of Unfair Import Investigations is not participating in the investigation. See id.

On September 16, 2023, Ergobaby filed a motion for leave to amend the complaint and NOI to add Xiamen Danke Health Technology Co., Ltd., a/k/a xiamen danke jiankang keji you xian gong si (“Xiamen Danke”) of Xiamen, China as a respondent. None of the participating respondents opposed the motion. See Order No. 15 at 1 (Sept. 24, 2026).

On September 24, 2026, the ALJ issued the subject ID (Order No. 15) granting Ergobaby's motion. The ID finds good cause to amend the complaint and NOI because Ergobaby did not know of Xiamen Danke's role as the manufacturer of certain accused products until Xiamen NBB disclosed that information in its response to the complaint and NOI. Order No. 15 at 2. The ID notes that Ergobaby filed its motion three weeks after learning of Xiamen Danke and four business days after receiving additional information regarding Xiamen Danke in Xiamen NBB's discovery responses. Id. The ID further finds that Ergobaby's proposed amendment would not prejudice the public interest or the rights of the parties to the investigation because the products manufactured by Xiamen Danke are already part of the investigation and the investigation is in the early stages. Id. at 3. No petitions for review of the subject ID were filed.

The Commission has determined not to review the subject ID. Xiamen Danke is added as a respondent in this investigation.

The Commission vote for this determination took place on October 26, 2026.

The authority for the Commission's determination is contained in section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (19 U.S.C. 1337), and in Part 210 of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (19 CFR part 210).
