TORONTO — Various bassinets and change tables made by Harmony Play & Go Playards have been recalled due to the risks they pose.
In a news release, Health Canada announced the recall of these products as there are “suffocation and entrapment hazards.”
The Health Canada website states issues surrounding the products include:
- If the bassinet structural support bars are not in place and fully assembled in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions, and if an unattended infant is placed cross-wise on the bassinet without the bassinet structural support bars in place, an uneven sleeping surface may be created posing a potential risk of injury or death due to suffocation.
- If a child is left unattended in the bassinet or playard portion of the playard while the change table accessory is installed, contrary to the manufacturer’s instructions, a child could attempt to lift the change table accessory posing a potential risk of injury or death due to entrapment.
