December 19, 2024 TruthUSA

Reports have surfaced in Canada of over 6,000 toddler stools being recalled after a child’s head got stuck between the bars of the stool.

Health Canada has flagged the Qaba Toddler Kitchen Helper 2 Step Stool from Aosom Canada Inc. as a safety concern, advising parents to stop using the product immediately.

According to Health Canada’s updated advisory on Dec. 17, “The space between the bars on the back of the step stool pose an entrapment hazard, where a child’s head can get stuck.”

Aosom, the ecommerce company, has received one report of a child’s head being entrapped. The company has sold 6,656 of these Chinese-made toddler stools in Canada between July 2021 and October 2024.

Based in Markham, Ont., Aosom sells products through various platforms like Amazon, Walmart, Home Depot, Best Buy, and Wayfair.

The recall includes five different colors of the product, with model numbers visible on the outside packaging:

Cream white (model number: 312-050V00CW)
Grey (312-050GY)
Light blue (312-050V00LB)
Pink (312-050V00PK)
White (312-050WT)

Baby Product Recalls

Health Canada has recently recalled baby strollers, spoons, walkers, and sleepers.

Last month, a nation-wide recall was issued for the Stokke YOYO baby stroller due to a braking system defect identified as a safety concern by Health Canada. Additionally, a voluntary recall of Melii animal silicone spoons was issued in October after reports of the spoon’s end breaking off during use.

Last month, Pehr Designs Inc. recalled thousands of Kimono Rompers as they did not meet the required flammability standards for children’s sleepwear.

Health Canada warned consumers in its advisory on Nov. 14 about the risk of burn injuries posed by these organic rompers designed for babies and toddlers by the sustainable clothing company based in Ontario (advisory link).

In October, the federal health agency also cautioned against purchasing baby walkers on eBay.ca, as baby walkers have been banned in Canada since 2004 due to a high incidence of injuries.

In its advisory on Oct. 25, Health Canada urged parents to immediately dispose of the walkers to prevent their use.
