Warning from the Ontario Association of Fire Chiefs - Unapproved Vent-Free Heater being sold in Ontario [Click here for details] The Pro Com Vent Free appliance was found being sold at a local Liquidation World Store. This is advertised as a vent-free fireplace system. The Technical Standards & Safety Authority (TSSA) says that these units are not approved for sale in Canada. The local Liquidation World Store advised that these appliances were supplied by Head Office and that they could be sold all over Ontario. TSSA is issuing a provincial offence in order to discontinue the sale of these appliances but we were advised that they have been in the stores for a while and there could be a lot of them already sold. If some consumers have already purchased such a unit, the Ontario Association of Fire Chiefs recommends they return this unapproved product to their local Liquidation World store and that they inquire as to how they may be reimbursed. The OAFC was also informed camp heaters by the same company, also not approved for sale in Canada, are being sold. |
