Another round of product recalls has been announced, affecting various household items across Ontario. Residents are urged to inspect their homes for these products, which have been identified as potential risks for serious injuries, including head injuries, burns, entrapment, and choking hazards.

Product Details:
Model Numbers: BC10112BE, BC10112GR, BC10112PI, BC10140BE, BC10140GR
Colors: Beige, Grey, Pink
This recall involves the Costway Portable Baby Bed Side Sleeper Infant Travel Cribs. These cribs, featuring a detachable sidebar, two fixed ropes, retractable feet, and five adjustable height levels, do not meet Canada’s Cribs, Cradles, and Bassinets Regulations. Specifically, the inclined sleep surface poses risks of entrapment and suffocation.
Safety Notice:
Health Canada advises that the safest sleep environment for a baby is on their back on a firm, flat surface designed for sleep.
Action Required:
Stop using the recalled product immediately and contact Costway for a refund. Although 104 units were sold in Canada between November 2020 and February 2024, no incidents or injuries have been reported as of August 28, 2024.
Gasaciods Children’s Multi-Purpose Helmets
Product Details:
Sizes: Suitable for head circumferences of 19-1/2 to 20-1/2 inches
Colors: Pink, Blue
The recall affects Gasaciods Children’s multi-purpose helmets sold by Fengwang Sports. These helmets, which have red removable padding, black straps, and a black and red buckle with “GASACIODS” printed on the sides, fail to meet federal safety standards for positional stability, dynamic strength, and impact protection. As a result, they may not protect children adequately during a crash, posing a significant risk of head injury.
Action Required:
Cease using the helmets immediately and dispose of them to prevent further use. Contact Fengwang Sports for a refund. Only five units were sold in Canada between July and October 2023, and no incidents or injuries have been reported as of August 8, 2024.

Model Number: GJD49 (on the back of the kettlebell toy)
This recall specifically targets the dumbbell toy included in the Fisher-Price Baby Biceps Gift Set. The grey caps on the ends of the dumbbell toy can detach, posing a choking hazard to young children.
Action Required:
Stop using the dumbbell toy and contact Fisher-Price for a partial refund. Of the approximately 44,512 units sold in Canada between June 2020 and April 2024, there have been four reports of the caps detaching, but no injuries have been reported as of August 15, 2024.
