Canada recalls BIBIHOU Mermaid Princess Dress over flammability risk

Health Canada is urging consumers to stop using the BIBIHOU Mermaid Princess Dress after testing found that the costume does not meet the flammability requirements for toys. The fabric can catch fire rapidly when exposed to a candle, lighter or match.

The recalled dress is made of 100% polyester in combinations of blue, green and purple. It has spaghetti straps and ruffles at the shoulder, waist and bottom of the skirt. SHEIN Distribution Canada imported the product, and the company reported selling 89 units in Canada between March 2025 and October 2026.

Consumers should dispose of the dress safely so it cannot be used again and contact SHEIN for a refund. Health Canada says recalled products cannot be redistributed, sold or given away in Canada.

As of 22 October 2026, the company had received no reports of incidents or injuries in Canada. The recall, published on 6 November, is identified as RA-82910.
