A brand of wireless earbuds sold in Canada is being recalled due to burn and fire hazards.

An alert on Health Canada’s website advises anyone who owns a pair of True Wireless Earbuds to immediately stop using them and return the product to a Giant Tiger store for a refund.

The issue with the earbuds is a result of the USB charging cords being manufactured with the wrong wiring material. As a result, the product may overheat when plugged into a charger, leading to a risk of burns or fires.

There have been three reports of incidents in Canada since Nov. 27, though no reports of injuries.

There were 16,278 units of the affected product sold in Canada, according to the company.

The UPC is 774223568363 and SKU is 1545426, information which can be found on the packaging. The product was sold between July 17 and Oct. 14, 2025.

Any products purchased before then are excluded from the recall, including those that show a label for lot number 11012025.
