Baby Walker Sold on AliExpress Recalled Over Fall Risk: Health Canada

If you ordered a baby walker online from AliExpress in recent months, Health Canada wants you to check what arrived at your door. The agency has issued a consumer product advisory for the ‘Oversized Heightened Kids Walking Rehabilitation Walker Pediatric Gait Training Aid Special Child Mobility Support Device’, warning that the item poses a risk of injury to young children and should never have been sold in the country in the first place.

Baby walkers of this kind have been banned in Canada for years under the Canada Consumer Product Safety Act, yet this model still made its way to Canadian households through an online marketplace listing operated by a seller identified only as Shop 1105261730 Store, based in China. According to Health Canada, two units of the product were sold to consumers in Canada before the listing was taken down.
What Products Are Being Recalled?
The affected item is described as an enclosed activity structure designed to support a baby or young child in a sitting or standing position while their feet touch the floor. It is mounted on wheels or a similar mechanism that allows the child to move around independently on a horizontal surface. It was marketed under the lengthy listing title ‘Oversized Heightened Kids Walking Rehabilitation Walker Pediatric Gait Training Aid Special Child Mobility Support Device’ and sold exclusively through AliExpress.
Why Was This Recall Issued?
Baby walkers give children access to areas and objects they would not otherwise be able to reach, and that added mobility is exactly what makes them dangerous. A child in a walker can quickly roll toward stairs, hot surfaces, sharp objects, or other hazards that would normally be out of reach. Falls down stairs while in a walker are a well-documented cause of serious injury and, in some cases, death, which is why Health Canada prohibited the sale of these products outright.

Health Canada said it contacted the foreign seller directly and asked the company to voluntarily pull the product and notify buyers, but received no response. As a result, the agency is issuing this advisory directly to consumers rather than coordinating a formal recall with the seller’s cooperation.
Who Is Affected?
Only two units of the walker are known to have been sold in Canada, based on data reported by AliExpress to Health Canada. The product listing has since been removed from the platform. No injuries or incidents involving the product have been reported to Health Canada to date, but the agency is treating the sale as a serious enough safety gap to warn the public.
What Should You Do?
Anyone who purchased this walker is told to stop using it immediately and dispose of it in a way that ensures it cannot be used again, such as breaking it down before discarding it. Health Canada is also urging consumers who shop on international marketplaces to check the Healthy Canadians Recalls and Safety Alerts database regularly before buying children’s products, since items banned in Canada can still appear on foreign-based storefronts.
Anyone who experiences a health or safety issue with this or any other consumer product is encouraged to file a report through Health Canada’s Consumer Product Incident Report Form.
What the Agency Said
Health Canada reiterated that baby walkers remain banned nationwide under the Canada Consumer Product Safety Act and that it continues to test and monitor consumer products sold both in stores and online. The agency noted it will keep pursuing foreign sellers who list banned items for sale to Canadian consumers, even when those companies do not respond to outreach.
