Hundreds of artificial Christmas trees have been recalled over fears they could set on fire.
The trees – sold at Home Depot in October and November of this year – should be immediately unplugged and returned in exchange for a full refund.
Health Canada said that, as of Nov. 21, there have been no reports of injuries or incidents involving the product.
The trees were sold under the name “Home Decorators Collection 7.5 foot (2.3 metre) Grand Duchess Balsam Fir LED Pre-Lit Artificial Christmas Tree with 5000 Colour Changing Lights.”
“The Christmas tree’s control panel or electrical cord plug may overheat, posing a burn or fire hazard,” Health Canada’s recall notice, published today, explains.
According to the agency, 883 of the trees were sold across Canada during the two months they were on sale.
They were made in China.
