Risk: The black mesh part of the fabric cover poses a flammability hazard. In addition, the top corners of the playpen can allow a child’s head to pass through, posing an entrapment hazard.
What you should do: Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled playpen and discard the fabric cover in their regular household garbage. Consumers can contact [email protected] to request a new fabric cover.

Risk: Baby walkers are banned in Canada and may pose an injury hazard. Children in baby walkers are exposed to hazards that would not normally be accessible if the child were not supported by the walker, posing a variety of risks of injury to the child. Children in baby walkers can also fall down the stairs, which could result in injury or death.
What you should do: Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled baby walkers and contact Triplenet Pricing Inc. for instructions on how to obtain a refund.
