Health Canada recalls more than 25,000 Simmons Kozy and Nido baby loungers

Health Canada has told parents to stop using Simmons Kozy and Nido baby loungers after a nationwide recall involving more than 25,000 units. The agency issued the recall on October 22, 2026, determining the products do not comply with Canada’s Cribs, Cradles and Bassinets Regulations. This non-compliance creates a potential fall hazard for infants. The importer, Jasztex Fibers Inc., which operates as Jupiter Industries in Mississauga, Ontario, reported selling 25,088 units across Canada between January 2022 and September 2026. The products were manufactured in China.

No incidents or injuries have been reported in Canada as of October 19, according to the company. Despite the lack of reported incidents, Health Canada says the loungers pose a potential fall hazard because they do not meet federal safety requirements. The agency also reminds caregivers that “the safest place for a baby to sleep is on their back on a firm, flat surface intended for sleep.” Its guidance further recommends keeping soft items like pillows and quilts out of a baby's sleep area.

How can I identify a recalled lounger?

The recall covers six different models of Simmons Kozy and Nido baby nests and loungers. These models were sold in various colours and fabric textures. Consumers can check the model number on the warning label attached to the product itself. The Universal Product Code, which was on the original packaging, can also be used for identification. Full product details are listed in the complete recall notice on the Health Canada website.

What is the correct way to handle a recalled product?

Owners of the affected loungers should cease using them immediately. Health Canada advises against donating or passing the product along to others. Instead, consumers should dispose of it safely to ensure it cannot be used again. Under the Canada Consumer Product Safety Act, it is illegal to resell, redistribute or even give away a recalled product in Canada. This legal prohibition applies to online marketplaces, garage sales and second-hand stores.

Who should consumers contact for more details?

For questions about the recall, consumers can contact Jupiter Industries by phone at 1-800-465-5795 on weekdays from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Eastern Time. The company can also be reached by email at [email protected]. Anyone who has experienced a health or safety incident related to the product is encouraged to file a report with Health Canada using its Consumer Product Incident Report Form.

Where can parents find official safe sleep advice?

Health Canada reiterated its safe sleep recommendations alongside the recall announcement. The agency states that babies should sleep on their back in a crib, cradle or bassinet that meets current Canadian regulations. The sleep surface must be firm and flat. More comprehensive information is available in Health Canada’s guide titled Creating a safe sleep environment for your baby.
