ES OFFICE OPEN SUNDAYS 1 2PM - 1PMV lo OPEN 7 IJAYS TU SERVE YOD 0 AM 4181 STEEE AVENUEI U GO7CRR UDSUo Recail voluntary efromn GLUE on page Al Almost 2,000 units were shipped in Canada. At the time the notice was issued, there had been no reports of injuries or incidents, but people were advised to stop using the product immediately The recali was voluntary, which means DCG co-operated with the ESA in getting stores to retumn the product; if it hadn't, the ESA could have ordered a mandatory recali, said Mina Yousef, ESA product safe- ty engineer. DCG owner Sami Dadr said before this incident, he hadn't received any complaints about the glue gun, so this one came as a sur- prise. He said the recali hiad to, do with an incorrect label on tbe product and couldnt clelînitiîvely comment on whether be thought there were safety concernis. Regardless of the reasons behind the recali, what's important, he said, is DCG reacted quickly to try to get the glue guns off shelves. It sent every store that had purchased the glue guns a recail notice via regis- tered mail, he said. Stores that sent them back were given full refunds, he said. Emerson said when she returned to the store after the incident, there were no Hot Melt Glue Guns on the sheif and she was given a re[und. She's now concemned about ber three-year-old son, who witnessed the incident, Emerson said. When she brought the burnt glue gun out for a photo, he started screaming and yelling "Fire!" Later that night, he had nightmares. "At first this mission was about notifying; the community about a potential fire hazard. Now its about my son and the effects this bas had on him. At this point 1 am furious." Stephianie Hounsell tan be reached at sthiessen@ýiiiùoncanadianichiarpi- on.com. Inid Today's Champion_ COMMUNITY A8 DATELINE A10 SPORTS A17 I CLASSIFIED A19
