Canadian Tire Adds 33 Types Of Holiday Collection Lights To Safety Recall

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 24 Dec, 2015 05:19 PM
    TORONTO — Canadian Tire is expanding a recall of Christmas lights sold under the Holiday Collection brand for safety reasons.
     
    It says the lights should not be used and can be returned to Canadian Tire stores for a refund.
     
    Health Canada says it has received one report from a consumer who received a minor electric shock from the coloured lights.
     
    The agency also says the affected lights may pose a fire hazard.
     
    The recall includes another 33 types of Holiday Collection lights sold by Canadian Tire after Aug. 1, in addition to 12 types identified two weeks ago. A complete list is on Health Canada's website healthycanadians.gc.ca.
     
    The recall does not include Noma lights — which are another brand carried by the national retailer.
