RECALL: Products sold on Amazon are banned in Canada

Certain products that were sold on Amazon are banned in Canada, officials say.

Health Canada issued an advisory for the products, which officials said can pose serious risks.

The affected products are infant self-feeding devices.

“An infant self-feeding device is any device which allows caregivers to position a feeding bottle in a way that allows an infant to feed themselves unattended,” Health Canada said.

That includes a device that’s designed to support a bottle in a way that it can be stably placed beside or on top of an infant, or a device that positions a bottle nipple in an infant’s mouth without needing the infant to hold it while feeding.

In this particular alert, officials said the following products were sold in Canada:

• “Bottle Holder for Self Feeding, 2025 New Adjustable Feeding Pillow, Holder Hands Free, Plush Support Pillow, Washable, Soft, Bottles Holder Hands Free” (ASIN B0FTG6PND1)
• “for Self Feeding, Adjustable Feeding was Pillow, Pillow, Plush Bottl Soft, Support” (ASIN B0G6X7N21T, ASIN B0G66HM4P2)
• “Feeding Pillow for Newborns, Hands-Free Adjustable Baby Bottle Holder & Nursing Support, Relieve Parent’s Wrist, Arm & Back Fatigue for Comfortable Feeding” (ASIN B0FP4MTKW1)
• “Bottle Holder Pillow, Neck Support Pad for Bottle Feeding Care, Bottles Feeding Pillow, Hands Free Plush Bottles for Travel Comfort & Easier Nursing Cushion for Mom, Arm & Wrist Relief” (ASIN B0FXGPT354)

Amazon reported that there were 545 units of the products sold in Canada.

No incidents or injuries have been reported to officials.

They have since been removed from Amazon.ca.

Health Canada said it has contacted the foreign selling companies, which have not responded to requests for voluntary recalls.

“Infant self-feeding devices are banned in Canada,” Health Canada said.

“These products pose a choking or aspiration hazard to the infants using them, which can end in illness or death from aspirating the feeding liquid. When feeding, infants regurgitate small amounts of liquid food; therefore, they should be monitored at all times while feeding to ensure the caregiver can intervene if any concerning fluid intake or behaviours appear,” officials added.

“Feeding is traditionally interrupted periodically by the caregiver to burp the infant, which cannot be done if direct supervision is not provided. Unattended infant feeding practices are discouraged by Health Canada and Canadian professional medical associations as independent feeding should not be done until the child is ready.”

Consumers were advised to immediately stop using the affected products and dispose of them in a way that they can’t be used again.
