Health Canada is recalling a line of rechargeable LED vanity mirrors over concerns that the lithium-ion battery could overheat, posing a fire hazard.
The recall affects more than 60,000 Sunter Rechargeable LED Vanity Mirrors sold in Canada. The affected products have the date sticker «03/2022» or «04/2022» on the underside of the base and were sold from May 2022 to February 2023.
