Health Canada warns public of baby bassinet entrapment risk

Health Canada has issued a warning that a baby bassinet bedside crib previously sold on Amazon.ca may pose a risk of entrapment and suffocation.

A consumer products entrapment and injury hazard alert was sent out for the Angelbliss Baby Bassinet Bedside Crib, which was available for sale by Liuzihao on the online shopping platform.

The height-adjustable product designed for newborns has a storage basket and wheels.

Health Canada determined that the bedside sleeper does not meet the “Cribs, Cradles and Bassinets Regulations in Canada.”

“Specifically, the product’s sleep surface provides an incline angle greater than seven degrees, posing a risk of entrapment and suffocation to the child,” read a statement from Health Canada.

Consumers who have the bassinet should immediately stop using it and safely dispose of it so that it cannot be used again.
