Compliance Verification Project 2024-2025: High Chairs
Consumer Product Enforcement Summary Report
Fiscal Year 2024-2025
Summary
The Consumer Product Safety Program (CPSP) administers and enforces Canada Consumer Product Safety Act (CCPSA) and its regulations.
The purpose of this Compliance Verification (CV) project was to verify industry's compliance of high chairs with the applicable performance criteria of the ASTM F404-14a – Standard Consumer Safety Specifications for High Chairs. Health Canada has determined that certain products that do not conform to one or a combination of 4 applicable safety standards (ASTM F404-14a, AS 4684-2009, EN 14988:2006 or ISO 9221:1992 combined with the entrapment hazard mitigation criteria from one of the other 3 standards), or the equivalent, likely pose a danger to human health or safety (as per sections 7 and 8 of the CCPSA).
For this project, the CPSP carried out a market survey to determine the presence of establishments selling, importing, or manufacturing high chairs in Canada. Compliance of select high chairs (from that survey) was determined through an evaluation process where Health Canada inspectors visited establishments both online and in-person and sampled relevant products. Compliance with the performance criteria listed under the standard was verified through testing at the Product Safety Laboratory.
Over the course of the 2024-2025 fiscal year, mechanical testing of 27 different products was carried out, where all samples tested were imported products. The testing resulted in 5 recalls. There were 22 instances where no corrective action was required.

Disclaimer: Inspectors apply a systematic bias during the selection of establishments and samples. Inspectors do not select products randomly; instead, they select the ones that are more likely not to meet health and safety requirements. Due to this biased nature of sampling and the fact that sample sizes within CV projects are very small, Health Canada does not consider the findings of CV projects to reflect overall market compliance, unless otherwise stated. Note that these summary reports relate only to the product(s) actually tested and the specific criteria measured in this project. Testing by Health Canada does not represent approval or endorsement of the product(s).
