Health Canada Recalls Benchmark Electric Snow Thrower Sold at Home Hardware
Published
Health Canada has issued a product recall for a snow thrower sold at Home Hardware stores across the country. The product is the Benchmark-branded electric snow thrower, which has a 22-inch cutting width and a 15-amp motor. The recall was announced because the power cable on the machine may be faulty.
According to the notice, customers who own this snow thrower should stop using it right away. Because the power cable may not be safe, it could create a risk of electric shock or other injury. People who bought the product should check the model details and contact Home Hardware or the manufacturer for instructions on how to return it or receive a refund.
This recall is a reminder for Canadian shoppers to check their products regularly, especially before the winter season when snow removal equipment is used often. Health Canada advises consumers to register their products when possible, so they can be contacted quickly if a safety problem is found. Anyone with questions or concerns can visit the Health Canada website or call the department for more information.
