CFIA advises consumers not to consume the recalled formula and to either discard it or return it to the place of purchase. Customers who have purchased the affected formula can contact Enfamil at 1-866-534-9986 to request a refund.

Window Blinds Recall
Health Canada has issued a recall for various window blinds due to potential strangulation and choking hazards.
The affected blinds, manufactured by SBM Canada and True Blinds, do not meet the Corded Window Coverings Regulations.
Young children are at risk of becoming entangled in the blind cords or pulling looped cords around their necks, which can lead to strangulation.
The recall notice specifically mentions blinds with an oval base, referred to as ‘Oval Base.’
SBM Canada has sold approximately 45,000 units between May 2021 and December 2023, while True Blinds has sold around 290 units between June 2023 and December 2023.
No injuries related to the recalled blinds have been reported in Canada since December 20.
Consumers are advised to stop using the recalled items and contact the respective companies for repairs and a cordless replacement system.
Baby Walkers Banned in Canada
Health Canada has issued a recall for Olmitos Basic Zoo Walker due to potential injury hazards. It is important to note that baby walkers are banned in Canada.
Baby walkers can expose children to hazards that are not typically accessible when they are not supported by the walker.
One significant risk is the potential for a child to fall down stairs while using a walker, which can result in severe injury or even death.
The recalled baby walkers can be identified by their EAN 8414147020753 barcode number.
TradeInn.com has sold fewer than 100 units in Canada between December 2021 and November 2023.
As of December 18, the company has not received any reports of incidents or injuries related to the baby walkers in Canada.
Health Canada urges consumers to stop using the walkers and return them to the company for a refund.
Dried Cannabis Label Recall
Health Canada has issued a recall for a specific lot of Flowerchild Research Inc.’s Trygg Collection dried cannabis due to missing label information.
The recalled product is the Trygg Collection BLOCK PARTY Variety Pack (Titanium Kush, Hell Monkey), which was sold through authorized retailers in British Columbia.
The label of the recalled product does not contain essential information such as net weight, units, intended use, and product format.
Flowerchild Research Inc. and Health Canada have not received any complaints or reports regarding the recalled lot.
During the nine-day period from December 5 to December 13, the company sold 1,559 cannabis variety packs in Canada.
Consumers are advised to check if they have the recalled product and to contact the retail store where it was purchased.
Personal Massagers Recall
Health Canada has issued a recall for HoMedics Therapist Select Percussion personal massagers due to a fire and burn hazard.
The recalled massagers can overheat while charging, posing a risk of fire and burns.
The product’s Universal Product Code (UPC) is 0031262099662.
The recall specifically includes massagers manufactured through the end of 2022, as indicated by the manufacturing date found on a sticker on the underside of the product’s barrel.
Approximately 41,000 units of the recalled massagers have been sold in Canada between September 2020 and December 2023.
As of December 21, the company has received four reports of overheating while charging but no injuries in Canada.
Health Canada advises consumers to contact the company to receive a full refund or credit towards any HoMedics products, including a 20% bonus.
Ford Recalls F-150 Pickups
Ford has announced a recall of 20,000 F-150 pickup trucks in Canada due to an issue with certain rear axle bolts.
The affected vehicles are from model years 2021 to 2023 and are equipped with the “Trailer Tow Max Duty” package, featuring a 9.75-inch heavy-duty axle with a three-quarters float axle design. Owners of affected vehicles will receive a notice later this month.
The rear axle hub bolts of these vehicles are susceptible to breaking, which can result in unintended vehicle movement when the truck is parked without a parking brake.
Ford acknowledges that this issue could increase the risk of injury or a crash, but they have not received any reports of accidents or injuries related to this problem.
The company has already started manufacturing the 2024 F-150s, which are not part of this recall. Additionally, dealerships are selling the remaining 2023 stock, ensuring that any vehicles affected by the recall will be repaired before delivery to customers.
