Health Canada says consumers should immediately stop using the products above and either return them to the retailer where you bought them or dispose of them.

Consumers should also know:

  • Use only certified electrical products.
  • Provincial and territorial electrical codes require that all electrical products sold must be certified, which means that they meet the applicable Canadian electrical safety standards.
  • Certified products can be identified by a recognized certification mark on the product.
  • The certification mark must be on the product itself, not just the packaging.
  • If you are unsure whether a product is certified, ask the retailer to show you the certification mark on the product before you buy it.
