Reported risk: With the outdoor living and entertainment season upon us, Canadians should exercise caution when purchasing decorative refillable garden torches such as tiki torches. Garden torches must meet the federal safety standards regarding child-resistant closures and safety labelling. Through ongoing inspections over the past two years, Health Canada has identified numerous garden torches that do not meet Canadian safety requirements. Health Canada has taken action to remove these non-compliant torches from the marketplace, and will continue to do so.
