Hundreds of pre-lit, artificial Christmas trees that were sold at Home Depot across Canada are being recalled due to potential fire and burn hazards.
Health Canada says consumers should stop using the Home Decorators Collection 7.5 foot Grand Duchess Balsam Fir tree with 5000 Colour Changing Lights.
The recall states the product is being pulled because the tree’s "control panel or electrical cord plug may overheat, posing a burn or fire hazard."
The tree has only been sold in Canada and it can be identified by the model number, 23LE61001, and article number, 1001803629.
As of November 21, 2023, the company has received no reports of incidents or injuries in Canada. However, Health Canada says consumers should "immediately unplug" the recalled tree and return it to a local Home Depot store for a full refund.
Home Depot says 883 of the trees were sold in Canada between October and November of this year.
For more information, consumers can contact Home Depot Canada by telephone at 1-800-628-0525, Monday to Sunday, 8 am to 10 pm EST.
