THE CANADIAN RECALL
On November 25, 2010 Home Depot of Canada issued a nationwide product recall concerning all 2010 Holiday LED light strings by
Home Accents Holiday & Martha Stewart Living.
The issue:
The wiring may be exposed on some units and that poses a fire and electric shock risk. The products in question were sold in the Eastern province of Ontario.
Judging from the press release, this all seems to be based on one reported incident and Home Depot points out that this recall does not affect other holiday products sold under the Home Accents or Martha Stewart brands.
If you think that you purchased this product and if you still have the packaging (a good idea for storage) just look for the following product codes on the box
