Matheus Cunha scored twice, and Vinicius Junior added another goal to seal the win.
The result helped Brazil bounce back from a 1-1 draw against Morocco in their opening match.
According to the New York Times, Haiti's second defeat mathematically eliminated them from the tournament with one group game remaining.
Despite the dominant performance, Brazil suffered a significant setback when Barcelona forward Raphinha was forced off the pitch after 40 minutes with an apparent hamstring injury.
The winger signaled to the bench and sank to the turf before being substituted, raising concerns about his availability for upcoming matches.
