Published April 10, 2022 at 2:09 pm
Multiple products have been recalled from stores in Ontario this week (Apr. 4 to 10) due to potential health and safety risks, including stores in Mississauga and Brampton.
Residents are advised to check if they have these products at home and avoid using or consuming them out of caution.
The following products are affected:
Certain Kinder brand chocolate products
Risk: Possible Salmonella contamination. Food contaminated with Salmonella may not look or smell spoiled but can still make you sick with symptoms such as fever, headache, vomiting, nausea, abdominal cramps and diarrhea. Risks are higher for young children, pregnant women, the elderly and people with weakened immune systems.
What you should do: Recalled products should be thrown out or returned to the store where they were purchased. If you think you became sick from eating a recalled product, contact your doctor.
Ming Xiang brand Mushroom (enoki)
Risk: Possible Listeria monocytogenes contamination. Food contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes may not look or smell spoiled but can still make you sick with symptoms such as vomiting, nausea, persistent fever, muscle aches, severe headache and neck stiffness.
What you should do: Recalled products should be thrown out or returned to the location where they were purchased. If you think you became sick from consuming a recalled product, contact your doctor.
Certain Union Bay Seafood Ltd. brand Pacific Oysters
Risk: Possible norovirus contamination. The main symptoms of norovirus illness are diarrhea, vomiting (children usually experience more vomiting than adults), nausea and stomach cramps. Other symptoms may include low-grade fever, headache, chills, muscle aches and fatigue.
What you should do: Recalled products should be thrown out or returned to the store where they were purchased. If you think you became sick from eating a recalled product, contact your doctor.
Vertbaudet children’s bathrobe and AOSKERA Children’s Nightgowns
Risk: The product does not meet the flammability requirements for children’s sleepwear of the Children’s Sleepwear Regulations. Loose-fitting children’s sleepwear can come in contact with flammable sources such as stove elements, candles, and matches more readily than tight-fitting sleepwear, posing burn hazards.
What you should do: Immediately stop using this children’s bathrobe and dispose of the product, or see if it can be returned to the store where it was purchased.
Stokke Clikk High Chair in White
Risk: The white plastic seat can break, posing a fall hazard.
What you should do: Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled high chair and visit Stokke LLC’s website to determine whether their Clikk high chair in white is affected by the recall.
Risk: Failure to use a professional installer can lead to improper assembly and/or attachment to the wall structure and therefore may result in a sudden collapse of the wall bed, which can cause serious injury or death.
What you should do: Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled wall beds and contact Bestar to determine whether they require a repair via reinstallation.
Celebright Inc. Lighting System
Risk: The affected product does not meet CSA specification requirements, posing a safety/electrical hazard.
What you should do: Consumers should immediately unplug the product and contact Celebright Inc. to have the product retrofitted.
