Health Canada has issued a recall for Vevor 4-in-1 baby walkers sold on Wayfair, decades after such products were banned in Canada due to serious fall and injury risks. The recall, announced July 7, 2026, affects approximately 600 units sold between February and June 2026.
Product Details and Hazard
The recalled baby walker, model number B0B2D9KX7D, is a multi-functional device that can convert into a walker, rocker, bouncer, and activity table. It was sold exclusively online through Wayfair Canada. Health Canada warns that the walker allows infants to move too quickly, reach higher surfaces, or access stairs, leading to potential falls, fractures, and head injuries.
“Baby walkers have been banned in Canada since 2004 under the Canada Consumer Product Safety Act because they pose an unreasonable risk of injury,” said a Health Canada spokesperson. “Consumers should immediately stop using this product and contact Vevor for a refund.”
Background on Baby Walker Ban
Canada was one of the first countries to prohibit the sale and import of baby walkers, following years of data linking them to thousands of emergency room visits. According to Health Canada, between 1990 and 2002, over 1,900 infants aged 5 to 15 months were treated for injuries related to baby walkers, with stair falls being the most common cause. The ban remains in effect, making any sale or advertisement of baby walkers illegal.
Despite the ban, some products slip through the cracks, often sold by third-party sellers on online marketplaces. In this case, Vevor, a Chinese manufacturer, listed the walker on Wayfair, which is required to ensure its listings comply with Canadian law.
Consumer Action
Health Canada urges anyone who purchased the Vevor 4-in-1 baby walker to stop using it immediately and return it to Vevor for a full refund. Consumers can contact Vevor by phone at 1-833-838-6788 or via email at support@vevor.ca. As of the recall date, no injuries have been reported in Canada, but the agency stresses the importance of compliance to prevent harm.
“We remind all retailers and online platforms that selling baby walkers is illegal in Canada,” the spokesperson added. “We will continue to monitor and enforce the ban to protect children.”
Broader Context
This recall comes amid heightened scrutiny of online marketplace safety. In recent years, Health Canada has stepped up efforts to identify and remove banned products from e-commerce sites. Wayfair has not commented on the recall, but the company is cooperating with authorities to remove the listing.
Parents are advised to use stationary activity centers or playpens as safer alternatives. For more information, visit Health Canada's recall database at recalls.canada.ca.
