Recall: PureVolt Photoelectric Smoke Detector Recalled Due to Potential Failure to Operate

March 2, 2026

  • Product: PureVolt Photoelectric Smoke Detector
  • Issue: Consumer products – Unauthorized products
  • What to do: Immediately stop using the recalled product and return it to Addison Électronique for a refund.

This recall involves Purevolt Photoelectric Smoke Detector model SD119-4 for fire alarm systems, compatible with 4 wires, 12V DC. The product measures 100mm x 48mm and is intended for indoor use, with ceiling or wall mounting. The model number can be found on the label affixed to the back of the product.

Issue

Health Canada’s sampling and evaluation program has determined that the product may not meet the Residential Detectors Regulations in Canada. 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 February 13, 2026, the company has received no reports of incidents or injuries in Canada.

What you should do

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled product and return it to Addison Électronique for a refund. Consumers should replace the recalled product with one that bears a Canadian certification mark.

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 consumers 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.
