Reported risk: Health Canada's sampling and evaluation program has determined the cigarettes do not meet the performance standards required by the Cigarette Ignition Propensity (Consumer Products) Regulations under the Canada Consumer Product Safety Act.

Cigarettes that do not meet the performance requirements pose an increased fire hazard. Cigarettes that are dropped onto furniture, bedding or other textile products may cause a fire to start. As of December 7, 2022, the company has received no reports of incidents and no reports of injuries in Canada.
