Health Canada is issuing a recall for more than 600,000 electrical outlets sold across the country over the past 10 years because of a possible fire hazard.

Three models of Electrical Devices Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) safety outlets sold at Home Hardware locations across Canada have been recalled because of faulty terminal screws, the federal agency said in a recent advisory.
