What you should do:
-- Immediately stop using the products above and either return them to the
retailer where you bought them or dispose of them.
-- 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.
For more information, visit the Electrical Product Safety page on Canada.ca.
