12/2 NMD90 75M Romex SIMpull Cable (yellow) Recalled due to Inaccurate Labelling

EIN Romex 12 2 Recall 400

May 5, 2022

This recall involves a yellow electrical wire, 12/2 NMD90 75M Romex SIMpull cable, sold by the spool. Products were also sold at Home Depot designated as article 108196.  Only cables with a time stamp between 12:41 and 18:02 are affected by this recall. 

The recalled product contains a neutral wire that is a smaller 14-gauge wire, contrary to the stamp on the wire identifying both the neutral and “hot” wires as 12-gauge (i.e., “12/2”). 

The recalled product contains a 14-gauge neutral wire instead of 12-gauge (as labelled), thus it may not perform as expected in 12-gauge applications, resulting in a risk of those applications having impaired performance and/or compliance with safety codes or standards.

As of April 8, 2022, the company has received no reports of incidents or injuries in Canada.

What you should do

Consumers should immediately check the time stamp on the product to identify if the cable is included in the recall and immediately stop using the recalled product.

Consumers with any questions can also call Southwire Canada’s toll-free support line at 1-833-408-0463, from Monday through Friday, 8 AM to 7 PM EST, for assistance in English or French.

Please note that the Canada Consumer Product Safety Act prohibits recalled products from being redistributed, sold or even given away in Canada.

Health Canada would like to remind Canadians to report any health or safety incidents related to the use of this product or any other consumer product or cosmetic by filling out the Consumer Product Incident Report Form.

This recall is also posted on the OECD Global Portal on Product Recalls website. You can visit this site for more information on other international consumer product recalls.
