I would be curious to the response you get from your email.

Here is the response I received from them.

If you bought before 2007 you need to get a sticker for it for CSA approval, if after 2007 you are just fine.

Let me know if you need the sticker.

Thank you,

I would like to know if this model is certified as safe in Canada, specifically by the CSA,

http://www.cbc.ca/consumer/recalls/2...led_for_s.html

The website link above looks as if the product might be falsely and/or fraudulently marked and/or advertised with the possibility of having uncertified parts installed.

Please advise..

Thanks so much.

While this company is obviously a reseller of the products and not the manufacture, so I did the following to be double sure.

I did call the CSA because there was no response via email;
Product Certification
Toll-Free: (866) 797-4272
Tel: (416) 747-2661
Email: certinfo@csagroup.org

I received the same information about King 950W Generator; the set is certified for sale, and it's illegal to sell a product under recall for safety problems.

After all this, I would feel fine about purchasing if I were looking.
