Dual-Function Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Alarm recalled due to potential failure to operate

3 months 2 weeks ago
The Residential Detectors Regulations require that smoke detectors, heat actuated fire detectors and smoke alarms in Canada meet the applicable Canadian standards.  The product does not have a Canadian certification mark and it is unknown if the alarm operates in the presence of smoke, posing a potential fire hazard. Health Canada reminds consumers that products that do not have a recognized Canadian certification mark may not meet Canadian performance standards and could fail or operate incorrectly. This could pose a risk to consumers who may not be alerted to a fire incident in their home. For more information on what to look for when purchasing a smoke alarm or detector, see Health Canada's Consumer Information -  When purchasing smoke or carbon monoxide alarms, look for a Canadian certification mark. As of April 1, 2026, the company has not received reports of incidents or injuries in Canada.

Health Canada warns that Mini T Designer Fireplace and T-Lite 3 Designer Fireplace previously available on Ecosmartfire.ca may pose a risk of fire hazard

3 months 2 weeks ago
The portable fireplaces allow consumers to pour ethanol into the burner and then ignite the pooled ethanol fuel in the same location it was poured. Health Canada has determined that this hazardous device configuration presents a risk of flame jetting and poses a health and safety risk to consumers.   Flame jetting occurs when fuel vapours around a poured fuel stream ignite when a user refuels a portable fire product that is still burning, possibly when a flame is not readily visible. It can also occur when the flame is extinguished but the device is still hot. This can result in a burst of flaming fuel being rapidly expelled out of the container and travelling a distance dangerous to the user and bystanders. Flame jetting occurs very quickly, so the user and/or bystanders are unable to react quickly enough to move away from an incoming flame jet. Please visit this page for more information on flame jetting and portable products that use pourable alcohol-based fuels.  Additionally, the products do not meet the labelling requirements for consumer chemical products sold with the intention of being filled with a hazardous chemical product, as required by the Consumer Chemicals and Containers Regulations, 2001, under the Canada Consumer Product Safety Act.   The lack of appropriate labelling and hazard information could contribute to a flame jetting incident and/or unintentional exposure to the product and lead to serious illness, injury or death.
