The Northlight Bio Ethanol Portable Tabletop Fireplaces requires consumers to pour ethanol into the burner and then ignite the pooled ethanol fuel in the same location it was poured.
Flame jetting occurs when fuel vapours around a poured fuel stream ignite when a user refuels a portable fire product that is still burning, possibly when a flame is not readily visible. It can also occur when the flame is extinguished but the device is still hot. This can result in a burst of flaming fuel being rapidly expelled out of the container and travelling a distance dangerous to the user and bystanders. Flame jetting occurs very quickly, so the user and/or bystanders are unable to react quickly enough to move away from an incoming flame jet. Please visit this page for more information on flame jetting and portable products that use pourable alcohol-based fuels.
As of October 15th 2025, the company has received no reports of incidents or injury in Canada.

The Nordic Flame Tabletop Fire Pit requires consumers to pour ethanol into the burner and then ignite the pooled ethanol fuel in the same location it was poured.
The recalled products do not meet the labelling requirements for consumer chemical products sold with the intention of being filled with a hazardous chemical product, as required by the Consumer Chemicals and Containers Regulations, 2001, under the Canada Consumer Product Safety Act.
Flame jetting occurs when fuel vapours around a poured fuel stream ignite when a user refuels a portable fire product that is still burning, possibly when a flame is not readily visible. It can also occur when the flame is extinguished but the device is still hot. This can result in a burst of flaming fuel being rapidly expelled out of the container and travelling a distance dangerous to the user and bystanders. Flame jetting occurs very quickly, so the user and/or bystanders are unable to react quickly enough to move away from an incoming flame jet. Please visit this page for more information on flame jetting and portable products that use pourable alcohol-based fuels.
The lack of appropriate labelling and hazard information could contribute to a flame jetting incident and/or unintentional exposure to the product and lead to serious illness, injury or death.

The products contained inaccurate THC values that differ from the label. The pouches contain over 10 mg of THC, and there is significant unit-to-unit variability of THC between pouches.
The elevated and inconsistent levels of THC in each pouch may make it difficult to make informed decisions regarding your cannabis use. This may lead to over-intoxication and temporary adverse health consequences associated with THC overdose, which could include:
confusion
disorganized thinking
physical and mental impairment
anxiety
fear or panic
decreased blood pressure
elevated heart rate
In remote cases, depending on the individual and the dose of THC consumed, THC overdose can also result in psychotic episodes characterized by paranoia, delusion or hallucinations. These effects could in some cases lead to an emergency department visit or hospitalization.

A baby nest/lounger is a small, portable bed for an infant that has soft, padded sides. In Canada, baby nests/loungers must comply with the Cribs, Cradles and Bassinets Regulations of the Canada Consumer Product Safety Act (CCPSA).
Due to continued incidents and concerns related to baby nests/loungers across North America, Health Canada is reminding consumers of the risks with these products.
Health Canada is not aware of any reports of injury related to the use of these products in Canada. However, for similar products, in the United States, between 2021 and 2023, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) received 45 reports of incidents involving baby nests/loungers, 29 of which resulted in fatalities.
Health Canada is currently conducting a sampling and evaluation program for these products. As part of this, certain brands of baby nests/loungers (listed above) are being recalled and removed from the market because they do not meet current safety regulations in Canada. Consumers are encouraged to consult the list regularly for updates, as it will be updated if there are other affected products identified. For information on previously recalled baby nests/loungers, check the recalls and safety alerts database.
