Health Canada has issued an urgent recall for certain NordicTrack rowing machines following the discovery of a serious fire hazard that could put consumers at risk. The recall affects multiple models sold across the country.
Affected Models and Safety Concerns
The recall specifically targets NordicTrack rowing machines that contain a potential electrical fault in their power supply components. This defect could lead to overheating and potentially cause fires, creating significant safety risks for users and their households.
According to Health Canada officials, the recall involves machines sold between specific dates, though the exact model numbers and manufacturing dates are still being finalized. Consumers are urged to check their equipment immediately if they own any NordicTrack rowing machine purchased within the last few years.
What Consumers Should Do
Health Canada advises all NordicTrack rowing machine owners to stop using the equipment immediately and unplug it from power sources. The regulatory body emphasizes that continuing to use recalled machines could result in serious injury or property damage.
Affected consumers should contact NordicTrack directly for instructions on how to proceed. The company is expected to provide free repairs, replacements, or refunds depending on the specific circumstances of each case.
Reporting Incidents and Getting Help
