Baby Product Recalls in Canada: How to Check & Report

How baby-product recalls work in Canada, where to check the official database, how to report an unsafe product, and recent recall examples by category.

Last updated June 2026 · Based on Health Canada and Transport Canada recall listings. This is general safety information, not a warning about any specific product we sell.

How recalls work in Canada

Most baby gear — toys, cribs, bassinets, strollers, loungers and carriers — is regulated by Health Canada under the Canada Consumer Product Safety Act (CCPSA). Car seats and booster seats are different: they are regulated by Transport Canada under the Motor Vehicle Safety Act, though their recalls appear on the same portal. Most recalls are voluntary (company-initiated with Health Canada), but the government can also order a mandatory recall.

How to report an unsafe product

Parents can file a consumer incident report with Health Canada’s Consumer Product Safety Program through the official incident report form. Companies also face mandatory reporting requirements for serious incidents.

Recent recall examples by category

Representative examples from the official database to show the kinds of hazards recalled in each category. Always check the live database for current listings.

Strollers

• Mompush Velo Stroller — recalled for a tip-over, fall and injury hazard (stability) (2026).
• INFANS Baby Stroller (704) — grab-bar foam could release small parts — choking hazard (2026).
• Thule Sleek Strollers — handlebar could detach — possible fall hazard (2020).

Car seats & boosters (Transport Canada)

• UberBoost Inflatable Booster — not certified to Canadian standards; could increase injury risk in a collision (2024).
• Evenflo Revolve360 Slim — incomplete French warning label that could cause confusion (2025).

Many Transport Canada car-seat entries are bilingual-labelling corrections rather than crash-safety defects.

Cribs, bassinets & bedside sleepers

• Crate & Barrel Hampshire Crib — mattress support could loosen — fall and entrapment hazard (2024).
• Fodoss / Gymax / LivingBasics bedside bassinets — sleep surface incline over 7 degrees — entrapment and suffocation risk (2024).

A recurring theme: a bassinet or cradle sleep surface inclined more than 7 degrees breaches Canadian regulations. Our bassinet guide explains what to look for.

Infant loungers & baby nests

• Boppy Newborn Loungers — infants could suffocate if they roll or are placed in a position that obstructs breathing (joint Health Canada / U.S. CPSC) (2021).
• Various lounger / nest / sleeper brands (Zoomie Kids, VEVOR, La Millou and others) — fall, entrapment and suffocation hazards (2024-25).

Health Canada has issued a broad advisory on the risks of baby nests and loungers. This is why our content focuses on regulated sleep spaces such as bassinets and cribs.

Toys

• Chantia plush toys — hard plastic eyes could detach — choking hazard (2024).
• Fisher-Price Brunch & Go toy — toy egg could crack into small parts — choking hazard (2025).
• Battat B. toys Firefly Frank Teether — wings could detach — choking hazard (2021).

Baby carriers & slings

Recent Canadian carrier recalls are uncommon. Historic examples include certain infant slings recalled for suffocation risk (2010) and a few structured carriers recalled for buckle or strap issues. Check the live database for current listings.
