Expanded Recall: Garrison, Maison, Noma, Rona and UPM Branded Line Voltage Thermostats

Expanded Recall: Certain Garrison, Maison, Noma, Rona and UPM Branded Line Voltage Thermostats

February 16, 2017

This recall expansion adds other possible models of thermostats that were not included in a previous recall.

The units may overheat, emit smoke and damage the wall, posing a fire hazard to consumers. No injuries have been reported. Since June 2011, Health Canada has received 26 reports of incidents from consumers and retailers regarding the use of these thermostats.

The thermostats, manufactured in China by Mandolyn Electronic Technology and ESIC Technology Inc., were known to be sold at Canadian Tire, Rona and various other hardware and building stores.

The following model numbers are included in this recall. These models were known to be sold under the brand names Garrison, Maison, Noma, Rona and UPM. All serial numbers are affected.

  • HTM211
  • HTM311
  • HTM511
  • HTM611
  • HTM621

Note that some thermostat model numbers may have a letter after them, for example HTM221A. This letter indicates a minor, non-electrical variation in the product such as the shape of the LCD window or buttons or the colour of the unit. The presence of these letters does not affect which model numbers are included in the recall. The units were certified to Canadian Standards by CSA International.
