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.
