Health Canada Recalls Several Baby Nests and Loungers Due to Safety Risks

Health Canada issued a public advisory on August 20, 2025, recalling several brands of baby nests and loungers sold in Canada due to risks such as suffocation, entrapment, strangulation, choking, and falls. The agency urged consumers to stop using the specific products identified in the advisory, stating that these items do not comply with Canadian safety regulations.

The advisory was issued following continued incidents involving baby nests and loungers across North America. According to Health Canada, while no injuries have been reported in Canada, the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission received 45 incident reports and 29 reports of fatalities associated with similar products between 2021 and 2023.

The following baby nests and loungers are included in Health Canada's recall:

• FFQRLP Brand Baby Lounger for 0-24 months (First Island on Amazon.ca)
• BChic and Chicure model baby nests (Chic Baby)
• Housbay baby nest (Housbay Official Store on AliExpress.ca)
• HAPDEN Travel Portable Crib (Men/HAPDEN.CON.X on Walmart.ca Marketplace)
• La Millou Baby Best Nest (Moda Kids)
• Zoomie Kids and Vevor infant and newborn loungers, nests, sleepers (Vevor)
• Style Life Eleven Baby Loungers (Wayfair)

Health Canada reports these products are being recalled and withdrawn from sale for not meeting requirements outlined in the Cribs, Cradles and Bassinets Regulations under the Canada Consumer Product Safety Act. The department is currently conducting a sampling and evaluation program for such products.

The agency advises that baby nests and loungers are not safe for sleep due to suffocation risks. Babies should not be left unattended in these products, and baby nests and loungers should not be placed within another product—such as a crib, cradle, bassinet, or playpen—or used on surfaces like beds, couches, or armchairs. Health Canada states the safest place for babies to sleep is alone, on their back, in a crib, cradle, or bassinet that meets Canadian safety standards.

Health Canada indicates the recall list may be updated if new products are identified. Additional information, including previous recalls and updates, is available on Health Canada's recalls and safety alerts database.
