Issue

The spacing between some crib slats is between 3 mm to 5.5 mm too wide creating a dangerous opening for the child, posing a risk of entrapment.

Health Canada reminds parents and caregivers that the safest place for a baby to sleep is on their back on a firm, flat surface intended for sleep. For more information on safe sleeping practices for infants, see Health Canada's Consumer Information - Creating a safe sleep environment for your baby.

As of August 12, 2024, the company has not received any reports of incidents or injuries in Canada.
