Case name
Heaters Class Action

Quebec Superior Court file #
500-06-000994-190 (Montreal)


In March 2019, certain construction heaters or heating appliances branded Ouellet, Electrimart, Global Commander, Stelpro Design, Uniwatt, Chromalox, Centurion, Electromode, Westcan and Dimplex manufactured between 1989 and 2016 (the “Heaters”) were recalled as a result of a safety issue and fire hazard that could result in severe damage to property or bodily injury.

By way of the recall, the owners and users of the Heaters were informed to immediately cease using and disconnect their device(s).

Construction heaters and heating appliances are heating devices intended to provide a temporary or permanent additional source of heating for certain locations, including construction sites, workshops and garages.

The list of specific Heaters captured by the class action are:
