Hazardous Consumer Products Recalled: Thule Sleek Strollers

Health Canada has recently recalled several consumer products due to various safety hazards. It is always a good idea to keep up on Canada recall information as it’s updated, since consumers are recommended to immediately stop using the recalled products. Here are the latest Canada recalls that require your attention. 

Thule Sleek Stroller Recall

The first Canada recall is Thule Sleek Strollers. They were recalled due to safety concerns on Aug. 12, 2020. The recalled strollers include ones that were manufactured between May 2018 and September 2019. The reason for the recall is a handlebar issue that creates a potential fall hazard. The handlebars might detach from the stroller causing a dangerous situation.

Thule Sleek Strollers that have a QC 2020 sticker near the product label are excluded from the recall despite the date code. According to the Canada recall, if your stroller has one of these stickers, it is still safe to use. 

876 recalled strollers were sold in Canada and about 2,397 were sold in the United States. The recalled strollers were sold in stores from July 2018 to June 2020.

The manufacturer has not received any reports of handlebars detaching in Canada as of July 29, 2020. So far, one incident has occurred in the United States. No injuries regarding the recalled strollers have been reported.

If you have a Thule Sleek Stroller with any of these product numbers 11000001-5,11000017,11000330,11000337-342, stop using the stroller right away and contact the manufacturer immediately. You will be given return instructions and the company will give you a new stroller frame.

Stucky Balls Powerful Rare Earth Magnet Set Recall

Another Canada recall includes Stucky Balls Powerful Rare Earth Magnet Sets. The magnets are reportedly dangerous to children. These magnets are small magnetic balls used for creating sculptures, patterns, and more. The recall is due to the possibility of children swallowing or inhaling the magnets. If the magnets are ingested, they can magnetize together and create a blockage that can cause perforations in the intestinal walls. If children swallow other small objects, they are likely to pass through the digestive system. However, if two or more Stucky Balls are swallowed, the magnets can attract and clump together in the digestive system. The magnets could tear the intestinal walls and the result could be lethal.

The following are the recalled products: 

• Stucky Balls – 216 Silver Powerful Rare Earth Magnets, UPC Code 802962202900, Product Number 20290
• Stucky Balls – 216 Multi-Colour Powerful Rare Earth Magnets, UPC Code 802962202917, Product Number 20291

154 recalled products were sold in Canada in June 2020. There have been no reported incidents or injuries caused by Stucky Balls in Canada. If you have purchased these recalls, stop using them right away and return them where you bought them. You can contact the company if you have further questions.
