Health Canada has announced a safety recall for a specific baby stroller sold in the country, warning that it poses a serious risk of choking to infants and young children. The recall, issued on January 18, 2026, urges consumers to immediately stop using the affected product.
Details of the Recalled Product
The recall involves strollers sold under the Infans brand. According to the federal health agency, a component of the stroller can detach, creating a small parts hazard. If these parts become loose, young children could place them in their mouths and choke.
Health Canada has not released the specific model numbers or the total number of units affected in this initial announcement. The agency typically works with the distributor and retailers to identify all potentially dangerous products in the supply chain.
Immediate Steps for Consumers
Parents, caregivers, and anyone in possession of an Infans brand stroller are advised to take immediate action for child safety.
First and foremost, stop using the stroller right away. Do not place a child in the recalled product until it has been properly inspected or repaired. Contact the retailer where the stroller was purchased or the manufacturer for further instructions, which may include a repair kit, a replacement part, or a full refund.
Health Canada maintains that ensuring the safety of children's products is a top priority. This recall follows the agency's standard procedures for addressing potential hazards that are identified through reports, testing, or manufacturer disclosures.
Reporting Safety Concerns
Canadians are encouraged to report any health or safety incidents related to consumer products, including strollers and other children's items, directly to Health Canada. Reporting helps the agency identify emerging risks and take swift action to protect the public.
This recall serves as a critical reminder for all consumers to regularly check the Health Canada recalls and safety alerts database online. Registering products with manufacturers can also ensure direct notification if a safety issue arises in the future.
