Health Canada has issued a product recall for 7,000 PowerG Walking Pads sold in Canada at Canadian Tire due to an electrical hazard.
In a recall notice issued last week, Health Canada says anyone who purchased the PowerG Walking Pad since January 2025 should “immediately stop using the recalled product and return it to a Canadian Tire store for a refund or in-store credit.”
“The affected product does not meet the requirements of the relevant standard for this product category, which poses an electrical hazard,” the recall notice says.
