************************
Health Canada is warning consumers to check seven products from Spirit Halloween due to ongoing health and safety concerns.

On several occasions, Spirit Halloween has agreed to voluntarily stop sale or recall products that do not meet Canadian health and safety regulatory requirements.

However, Health Canada recently visited 45 stores across Canada and found that 23 stores continued to sell products that Spirit Halloween had previously agreed to stop selling or recall.

Health Canada says it is concerned with the continued sale of the following products sold by Spirit Halloween, some of which have been recalled or should no longer be available to consumers following a voluntary stop sale.  Health Canada will update this list if additional affected products are identified.

The products are as follows:

  • Spirit Halloween 100 Purple String Lights (SKU 01163427 ) – recalled due to a fire hazard and shock hazard due to loose wiring
  • Spirit Halloween 100 Orange String Lights (SKU 01163435) – stop sale order due to a fire hazard
  • Spirit Halloween Pumpkin Tiki Torch (SKU 01154160) – recalled due to missing hazard labelling and child resistant cap
  • Spirit Halloween Skull Tiki Torch (SKU 01154178 ) - recalled due to missing hazard labelling and child resistant cap
  • Spirit Halloween Feather Witch Hat (SKU 00643569) – recalled due to a fire hazard
  • Spirit Feather White Angel Wings (SKU 01039627 ) – recalled due to a fire hazard
  • Spirit Feather Black Angel Wings (SKU 01039619) – recalled due to a fire hazard

Health Canada says consumers should not purchase the affected products listed above from Spirit Halloween and should check the recalls and safety alerts database for any products that were previously purchased. If you have a product that has been recalled, you should follow the actions described in the recall notice.

Health Canada has requested an action plan from Spirit Halloween to outline how they will address these compliance issues. The department is also following up on additional products to assess compliance and may take further actions, if required. Health Canada also continues to inspect stores and may seize non-compliant products, if identified. 

Our Government is committed to help protect Canadians from potentially dangerous consumer products. Health Canada regularly tests consumer products on the Canadian market and will continue to monitor products to help keep consumers safe.
