After a complain was lodged on April 11, 2017 by a concerned parent who noticed their child had developed a scratch from one of Costco’s most popular baby clothing lines, the wholesale giant has made the decision to pull the product from the floor.

Earlier in April a parent noticed that their child had been scratched by one of Pekkle’s baby sleepers and as result of the injury an internal investigation into the matter is underway at the Montreal line’s parent company, Lemur.

A Lemur spokesperson said that they take the matter very seriously and that as soon as they learned about the problem with the clothing line they took all of the possibly affected product off the market.

Health Canada is currently weighing whether or not further action will be required after the internal investigation, but they are reportedly working very closely with Lemur and Costco to ensure a speedy and transparent recovery from the problem.

Meanwhile, on social media, Canadians seem to be having a mixed bag of reactions to the incident with Pekkle sleepwear:

Sears Canada can help you with your spring cleaning this year, or rather this handy little automatic iRobot vacuum can help you with your spring cleaning and you won’t have to do anything more than press ‘clean’. Right now at Sears Canada, you can grab a number of iRobot vacuums on sale for up to $100 off their original price.

The best deal by far in this sale is on the iRobot Roomba 650 Vacuum Cleaning Robot, which is on sale for just $449.99, though before it was being sold for $549.99. The robot cleaning vacuum can adjust to all floor types, including carpet, tile, hardwood, laminate and others. Plus, it cleans your floors in three smart stages: first, it agitates, brushes and then suctions the floors clean.

Another great deal going on at Sears Canada won’t help you with spring cleaning, but it’s such a great offer it’d be hard to pass up. Right now, you can grab the KitchenAid Artisan Stand 5 Qt. Mixer for just $449.99 (reg. $599.99) and also receive a $50 mail-in rebate. The rebate is part of a KitchenAid Mother’s Day promo, so it will only be valid on purchases made between April 13 and May 18. More details about how to claim your rebate can be found on the KitchenAid site, but you should know that this is really a hot, hot deal.

Breakfast in bed is usually a staple of most Mother’s Day celebrations, but what would be even more surprising for mom would be to wake up with a brand new pair of pjs so that she can enjoy her morning pancakes and orange juice in something handpicked for her by her kids. Hatley Canada would be the best place to do your Mother’s Day pyjama shopping as they are currently offering a Mother’s Day sale where you can save 25% off on sleepwear.

You can either grab an already matching set of pyjama bottoms and top, like this Tropical Drink set (only $45, reg $60), or mix and match your own selection of bottoms and t-shirt, like this Cat’s Pajamas t-shirt (only $18, was $24) and these Morning Coffee pyjama pants (now $27, was $36).

Taking care of your eyes during the spring and summer becomes increasingly important as the days get longer and the sun stays up shining well into the evening. Having a decent pair of sunglasses is an often overlooked tool for combatting the harmful effects of the sun, which is why this sale at Hudson’s Bay Canada immediately “caught my eye” so to speak.

Right now, you can grab designer sunglasses for 20% off their regular price when you use the promo code SUNNIES on all men’s regularly priced sunglasses (I tested the promo code on the already reduced sunglasses and it sadly did not work).

If you’re looking for a sporty pair of sunglasses, there’s these Under Armour Core 66mm Sunglasses, which will only cost you $116 after the promo code is applied (reg. $145). But if you’re requiring something a bit more stylish, then there’s these Polo Ralph Lauren Check 55mm Wayfarer Sunglasses, which will only be $160 after the discount (reg. $200).

Hudson’s Bay is also offering a sale that will appeal more to the ladies, as you can save up to 25% off on handbags and wallets. For instance, I was able to find this adorable Kipling Ravier Nylon Backpack on sale for just $130.50 (reg. $174) and this Nine West Reana Tote Bag for just $90 (reg. $120).

Hudson’s Bay offers FREE shipping on orders that are $45+ (or $29+ on beauty purchases) when you pay with your Hudson’s Bay credit card, or $99+ (or $49+ on beauty purchases) when you pay with any other form of tender.

Free Comic Book Day Canada 2017 is happening this Saturday, May 6th. On this special day, participating comic book shops give away a free comic book to everyone! Free Comic Book Day website has a store locator where you can put in your postal code and find your nearest participating comic book shop.

Free Comic Book Day is an annual event founded on the belief that for every person out there, there’s a comic book that they’ll love. Every first Saturday in May, the industry comes together to give away free comics and encourage fans, both old and new, to flock to the best place in the comic book community: local comic shops. These are the hubs of our community, where fans can come together and discover new comics, make lifelong friends, and find a sense of commonality.

Major publishers such as DC Comics, Marvel Comics, Dark Horse Comics, IDW Publishing, and Image Comics put out free comics for fans to enjoy at the more than 2,300 local comic shops participating in Free Comic Book Day. There’s truly a book for everyone: from superheroes, to popular film and television shows, to beloved video games, and all-ages stories. Popular series from past years have included Bob’s Burgers, Doctor Who, Assassin’s Creed, and SpongeBob.

Join the next global Jane’s Walk festival on May 5th, 6th and 7th, 2017. Jane’s Walk is a movement of free, citizen-led walking tours inspired by Jane Jacobs. The walks get people to tell stories about their communities, explore their cities, and connect with neighbours. Jane Jacobs (1916-2006) was an urbanist and activist whose writings championed a fresh, community-based approach to city building.

Jane’s Walks are free, locally organized walking tours, in which people get together to explore, talk about and celebrate their neighbourhoods. Where more traditional tours are a bit like walking lectures, a Jane’s Walk is more of a walking conversation. Leaders share their knowledge, but also encourage discussion and participation among the walkers.

A Jane’s Walk can focus on almost any aspect of a neighbourhood, and on almost any topic you can think of. Walks can be serious or funny, informative or exploratory; they can look at the history of a place, or at what’s happening there right now.  Anyone can lead a walk — because everyone is an expert on the place where they live!

The jacket is currently on sale for just $79.99, though normally it’s sold for $159.99.

This women’s CSC Mogul jacket was another great find from the Columbia Sportswear outlet sale.

Plus, it’s on sale right now for just $189.99, though normally it would cost $379.99.

Next time you’re in a DAVIDsTEA Canada location, you should check out their glass iced tea bottle selection, as when you buy one of these bottles between now and July 31, 2017 you can also pick up a refreshing glass of iced tea for just a $1.

This promotion is really great only if you were looking to buy a gloss iced tea bottle anyway, which really are stylish and practical travel companions for an avid tea drinker who likes to switch up to iced tea during the summer months.

The offer will only provide you with a $1 iced tea from the Tea of the Day selection at your local DAVIDsTEA, but seeing as the tea normally costs $3, you’d be saving yourself an easy $2 and staying hydrated while doing so.
