Health Canada has issued a recall for Simmons Kozy and Nido baby nests and loungers. These products manufactured in China pose a fall hazard to infants and fail to meet national safety regulations.
Why it matters
The recall is necessary because the products do not meet Canadian Cribs, Cradles and Bassinets Regulations. Parents are advised to stop using these items immediately to ensure child safety.
A total of 25,088 units were sold across Canada between January 2022 and September 2026. The recalled loungers were manufactured in China.
