A number of new recalls and important safety notices have hit the Canadian marketplace and big-name stores are being impacted.

One recall expansion involves the Mastercraft 5 Gallon Air Compressor 1.5-Hp and MotoMaster 5 Gallon Twin-Stack Air Compressor 1.5-Hp sold by Canadian Tire. The date code is located on the unit name plate on the tank.

The regulator knob may break off under pressure and may lead to a component failure and cause injury to consumers, Health Canada said.

As of Jan. 20, the company has received 21 reports of incidents in Canada with 1 injury.

"Consumers should immediately stop using the compressors and return them to the place of purchase for a full refund," the recall warning states

For more information, consumers may contact the Canadian Tire Call Centre by telephone at 1-800-387-8803.  The call centre is open Monday to Friday from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. EST and on Saturday and Sunday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. EST.

Another recall involves some bathrobes sold at Decathlon.

"As part of Health Canada's sampling and evaluation program, Health Canada has determined that, while this product meets standard flammability requirements under the Textile Flammability Regulations, it fails to meet the higher requirements applicable to children’s sleepwear under the Children’s Sleepwear Regulation," according to a statement from Decathlon.

To ensure the safety of consumers, Decathlon immediately complied with all of Health Canada’s requests and requirements upon notification of non-conformity.

"Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled Children’s Bathrobe and present themselves at a Decathlon store with their bathrobe for a refund," Health Canada said in its warning.

Customers should contact Decathlon or go to their nearest store to return their product for a refund or a gift card of the same value.

Should you need further details, please, call Decathlon's customer relations centre at 1-844-533-3322, Monday to Friday from 10 am to 9 pm and, Saturday and Sunday from 10 am to 6 pm or by email at onlineservice@decathlon.ca.

Finally, Costco has issued an "important safety notice" regarding one of its hammock chairs, saying "failure to follow product instructions can result in fall injury."

Due to consumer reports of injuries associated with improperly assembled Swinging Hammock Chairs, ShelterLogic Group is following up with consumers at this time to ensure that the assembly instructions, which came with your Swinging Hammock Chair, are being followed, according to a statement on the Costco website.

"Improper assembly of the Swinging Hammock Chair presents a safety risk and can result in fall injuries," the statement reads. The Rio Brands Swinging Hammock Chair (Item #2001140) was sold in Costco warehouses between February and June 2021.

"Please ensure that the 2 safety pins, which are permanently attached to the chair with orange straps, are correctly inserted and locked into position before and during use," the statement reads.
