Published April 28, 2024 at 6:42 pm
This week, residents are asked to check their homes for children’s items and food products. Some pose injuries such as entanglement, entrapment, and fall hazards, while others may be contaminated with bacteria that can make you sick.
Shandi 0-25Kg Big Space Electric Baby Crib Cradle Infant Rocker
The recall includes the Shandi 0-25 kg auto swing bed— a pink, foldable, and portable electric cradle. It features five swing speeds, 12 built-in songs, Bluetooth, and USB connectivity.
Health Canada’s evaluations have found that these cradles do not comply with its Cribs, Cradles, and Bassinets Regulations. Specifically, the product contains a restraint system, which is not allowed as it poses many safety risks and injuries.
The company reported that 20 units of the affected products were sold in Canada between January 2023 and April 2024.
Health Canada notes on its website that the safest sleeping arrangement for a baby is on its back on a firm, flat surface specifically designed for sleep.
