In 2009, following the amendment of CSA Standard C22.2 No. 46, Stelpro implemented a proactive prevention program to ensure the safety of its construction heaters manufactured between January 2000 and April 2009. Since April 2009, Stelpro products have been manufactured in accordance with the new standard and are safe.
In 2019, the entire industry is conducting a recall for the same reason on the same units, for construction heaters manufactured with heating elements supplied by CCI. It is still these same units that are now targeted by a class action.
The units concerned pose an electric arcing and fire risk. The Stelpro models affected by this recall were manufactured between January 2000 and April 2009:
PCH48T
PCH4800T
UCH48T
UCH4800T
UCH4800
UCH48
No other Stelpro device or model is affected by this recall.
