Recalls Mississauga Should Know About

Although most foods and products are safe, some edibles and items slip through the cracks and when they do, it’s good to be aware so you can fix or avoid them.

You wouldn’t want a phone exploding in your hand, now would you?

Here’s a list of products with recall notices.

1)    The Samsung Note7
