Health Canada is recalling 27USB chargers used to charge cellphones and other electronic devices, because they could pose a risk of electric shock or fire.
None of the chargers has been properly certified and may not meet Canadian electrical safety standards, the agency says.
Electrical codes in every province and territory require that all electrical products must be certified.

I see these USB chargers on display beside the cash registers at gas stations or local convenience stores, dollar stores, etc. … There everywhere.:mad:

Look out for knockoff Canadian certification marks or fake UL certifications.
