Health Canada Issues Recall for Risky Infant Loungers and Nests
Health Canada has issued a recall for a variety of infant loungers and nests due to significant safety risks, including potential smothering, entrapment, and falls. Parents and caregivers are advised to immediately cease use of these products, which are marketed as multi-functional sleep surfaces and changing mats.
The recall encompasses several brands, including the BChic and Chicure baby nests from Chic Baby, the FFQRLP Brand Baby Lounger from First Island available on Amazon.ca, and the Hapden Travel Portable Crib sold on Walmart.ca Marketplace. Other recalled items include the Housbay baby nest from AliExpress.ca, the La Millou Baby Best Nest from Moda Kids, Style Life Eleven Baby Loungers on Wayfair, and infant loungers from Vevor.
According to Health Canada, no infant sleep product is safe for unattended use. The agency emphasizes that these loungers should never be placed inside another device, such as cribs or playpens, or on soft surfaces like beds or couches, where the risk of suffocation increases.
“Health Canada advises that no baby nest or lounger be used as a sleep surface,” the agency stated in its recall notice. It further highlights that the safest sleeping environment for infants is a firm, flat surface, free from additional bedding or soft materials.
While Health Canada has not reported any injuries linked to these products in Canada, there have been numerous incidents across North America. Between 2021 and 2023, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission documented 45 incidents involving similar products, 29 of which resulted in fatalities.
Health Canada is actively evaluating the safety of all baby nests and loungers currently on the market. Many of the products listed in this recall do not comply with Canadian safety standards, prompting their removal from sale. Consumers are encouraged to check the recall list regularly for updates.
For parents and guardians seeking more information on safe sleep practices for infants, Health Canada recommends visiting canada.ca. Any incidents related to these loungers should be reported directly to Health Canada to assist in ongoing safety evaluations.
