Affected products

A baby walker is an enclosed activity structure built to support a baby or young child in either a sitting or standing position so that their feet touch the floor.  Walkers are mounted on wheels or a device that allows independent horizontal movement.

This alert involves the following products:

  • JHD™ baby walkers anti O-shaped leg baby stroller multifunctional starting vehicle for toddlers

  • Multifunction infant and baby walker 6/7-18 months old anti-rollover baby 

Issue

Baby walkers are banned in Canada.

Children in baby walkers are exposed to hazards that would not normally be accessible if the child were not supported by the walker, posing a variety of risks of injury to the child. Children in baby walkers can also fall down the stairs, which could result in injury or death.

Consumers who have these affected products should immediately stop using them and safely dispose of the items in such a way that they cannot be used again.

Regularly check the Healthy Canadians Recalls and Safety Alerts database for dangerous products and take action to remove items of concern.
