Health Canada recalled a variety of baby and kids products including a portable bedside cradle, baby swing and climbing ladder over safety concerns.
A portable bedside cradle, a baby swing and a climbing ladder are among the products recalled for safety concerns this week, prompting Health Canada to issue urgent warnings to parents and caregivers to immediately stop using them.
The health regulator on Wednesday issued a recall for “Unilove Hug Me Plus 2-in-1 Bedside Sleeper and Portable Cradle” due to the risk of entrapment and suffocation hazards. Health Canada said the cradles do not meet proper regulations.
“Specifically, the cradles sleep surface provides an incline angle greater than seven degrees, posing a risk of entrapment and suffocation to the child,” it stated.
This recall involves the cradles that were sold in grey or pink and they have mesh panels on both sides, telescoping feet with wheel locks and a height adjustment feature of seven levels.
The company reported 433 units of the affected products were sold in Canada between June 2022 and April 2024, Health Canada says.
As of April 8, the company has not received any reports of incidents or injuries in Canada, Health Canada added.
If you do have the cradle, it’s advised to immediately discontinue its use and reach out to Voltz Toys, the manufacturer, for a refund.
Health Canada added that it “reminds parents and caregivers that the safest place for a baby to sleep is on their back on a firm, flat surface intended for sleep.”
