A portable baby playpen and basketball hoop sold on Amazon.ca has been recalled by Health Canada, due to a fire and entrapment hazard.

Specifically, the black mesh part of the fabric cover poses a flammability hazard. In addition, the top corners of the playpen can allow a child’s head to pass through, posing an entrapment hazard.
