Health Canada has recalled several household items that have been sold across the country, many of which are due to fire and injury hazards that pose a serious risk to the health and safety of Canadian consumers.
The federal health department is urging those to verify if they are in possession of any of the affected products, if so, it's recommended to immediately stop using the recalled items, and in some cases, return to the point of purchase for an exchange or a full refund.
