Reported risk: Increased use of electrical and battery-operated products, such as sparkling lights, decorations and toys, has become a modern-day holiday tradition. Health Canada is reminding consumers to use caution when choosing and using these products to prevent injury and illness. When buying electrical products, make sure that they bear one of the recognized Certification marks or Field Evaluation marks , which verifies that the product has been certified to the required Canadian electrical safety standards. Electrical products that are not properly certified to the standards required by provincial and territorial electrical authorities can lead to electrical shock and fire, resulting in property damage, injury, and even death.
