Product description

This recall involves various turkey feather boas that were distributed by PartyMart.com and Holiday Industry Products. The turkey feather boas were available in various weights (20gram, 60gram, 100gram), various lengths (40inch, 6ft.), and various colors. 

Hazard identified

Health Canada's sampling and evaluation program has determined that these feather boas do not meet the flammability requirements for textile products under Canadian law.

If exposed to a flame source, such as from candles, matches or lighters, the feathers on the boa could catch fire and possibly cause burns and injury to consumers.

The Canada Consumer Product Safety Act prohibits the manufacture, importation, advertisement or sale of a textile product that does not meet the requirements set out in the Textile Flammability Regulations and other applicable regulations under the Act.

Neither PartyMart.com nor Health Canada has received any reports of consumer incidents or injuries to Canadians related to use of these products.
