Baby high chairs and loungers have been recalled in Canada due to safety concerns. Health Canada announced this recall, highlighting risks of entrapment, suffocation, and falls. On Monday, Health Canada warned caregivers to stop using the Babyjoy Baby High Chair and Style Life Eleven Baby Loungers. The high chairs have an incline greater than 7 degrees, making them dangerous for infant sleep. They also have a large opening between the seat and tray that could cause a child to fall or get stuck. The recalled high chairs include model numbers BB5656PI, BB5656BE, and BB5656GR. These chairs were sold in pink, beige, and grey, featuring a footrest and a detachable tray. A total of 42 units have been sold in Canada, but no injuries have been reported as of March 13. The chairs were available for purchase from April 2022 to February 2025. The baby loungers also pose serious risks. Health Canada says they do not meet safety regulations, which can lead to falls and entrapment. These loungers come with a head pillow and can be folded into a handbag. Brand name “Style Life Eleven” is visible on the product. Various designs of loungers were sold from May 2022 to September 2024. A total of 281 units were sold in Canada. As of March 20, there have been no reported injuries from these loungers.
