Health Canada has issued a warning against infant self-feeding devices previously available on Amazon, citing choking and aspiration hazards.
"These devices allow an infant to either hold the bottle and feed before developing the needed muscles to do this independently, or the bottles are situated in a way that makes it difficult for the infant to stop feeding," the recall states. "As a result, these products pose a choking or aspiration hazard to the infants using them, which can end in illness or death from aspirating the feeding liquid."
Canada has banned infant self-feeding devices under the Canada Consumer Product Safety Act. Amazon reported that 545 units of the affected products were sold in Canada. The products have been removed from the marketplace.
Health Canada advises consumers to immediately stop using the products and dispose of them so they cannot be reused. No injuries have been reported.
The warning covers several products including bottle holders, feeding pillows, and support cushions sold under various ASINs such as B0FTG6PND1, B0G6X7N21T, B0G66HM4P2, B0FP4MTKW1, and B0FXGPT354.
