Health Canada is recalling seven baby loungers, saying “continued incidents and concerns” have also prompted it to warn of the overall risks the products pose to infants.
“The safest place for a baby to sleep is on their back, alone in a crib, cradle or bassinet that meets current Canadian safety regulations,” the department said in a news release, announcing that it is conducting a sampling and evaluation program for the products.
As part of the program, Health Canada has so far identified a number of baby nests and loungers that it is recalling and removing from the market, as they do not meet Canadian safety regulations.
They include the brands BChic and Chicure, FFQRLP Brand, HAPDEN Travel Portable Crib, Housbay, La Millou, Style Life Eleven, Zoomie Kids and Vevor.
The products are available on online marketplaces, such as Amazon, Walmart, AliExpress, Wayfair and Vevor. They are being recalled for a number of hazard risks, including strangulation, choking, entrapment and falling.
