What happened
Health Canada announced a recall of the PowerG Walking Pad because the product presents an electrical hazard. The agency states the affected product fails to meet the requirements of the relevant standard for its product category. As of August 10, 2026, the company had received no reports of incidents or injuries in Canada tied to the issue.
Why it matters to your store
Independent retailers who may still hold this walking pad face immediate compliance and safety exposure if units remain on the floor or in back stock. Continuing to offer recalled inventory raises customer-harm and liability risk and can force unplanned quarantine labor. Cash and inventory planning are affected when units must be pulled and routed back through supplier return or refund channels rather than sold.
Action to take
Verify your receiving and on-hand inventory records for PowerG Walking Pad units today and, if any match the recall, stop sale, quarantine the SKUs, delist them, and start supplier return or refund steps this week.
