Health Canada Issues Recall for Popular Baby Loungers Due to Fall Risks
Published
Health Canada has issued an official recall for thousands of baby loungers sold at Canadian Tire stores across the country. The recall affects Simmons Kozy and Nido brand loungers, which are popular products used for resting infants. Officials are warning parents and caregivers to stop using these items immediately because they pose a serious safety hazard.
According to the safety notice, the design of these loungers creates a significant risk of falling. Health Canada stated that the products do not meet the necessary safety standards to keep babies secure. When a baby moves or rolls inside the lounger, there is a danger that they could fall out, potentially leading to injuries.
More than 25,000 units have been sold in Canada, making this a widespread concern for many families. The recall specifically includes two different models of the Kozy lounger, as well as the Nido version. Consumers who purchased these products are advised to check the model numbers against the official list provided on the Health Canada website.
Retailers have been instructed to remove these items from their shelves, and Canadian Tire is cooperating with the safety authorities to manage the returns. Parents who own one of these loungers should not attempt to repair the product themselves. Instead, they should return the item to the store where it was purchased to receive a refund or further instructions.
Safety experts remind the public that baby products are frequently monitored for hidden risks. If you have questions about this recall, you can visit the Health Canada website or contact the customer service department of the retailer. Keeping infants safe is a priority, and officials encourage all parents to stay informed about product safety alerts.
