The bikes in question, of which 875 have been sold in Canada between August 2020 and April 2021, have brackets with a black finish. The company has set up a website for people to check the affected bike models and the serial numbers associated with the faulty brackets.

There have been six reports of broken brackets in Canada, and one case where a person was injured.

The Intertex fan poses a fire hazard, as the capacitor in affected VP-33 units can overheat.

The company says the affected units include the red, blue and green finished B-Air VP-33 blower fans. Between January 2013 and December 2017, 5,064 of these units were sold in Canada.

Meantime, the wooden ring on the Hallmark teethers can break into small parts, which pose a choking hazard. The faulty teethers include a number of models, which can be found here.

The company reports that from January 2018 to January 2021, 1,228 units of the affected product were sold in Canada, and since then there has been six reports of the items breaking and no reports of injuries.

Users of any of these products are advised to contact the companies and seek replacements or reimbursements.
