If you own a PowerG Walking Pad bought in Canada, compare the product with the identifiers in Health Canada’s recall notice before deciding whether it is affected. The recall covers the PowerG Walking Pad, model 499-4052, with UPC 8 46325 03115 8. For a matching unit, the official instruction is to immediately stop using it and return it to a Canadian Tire store for a refund or in-store credit.
The notice does not provide a return deadline. It also does not say that every walking pad, every PowerG product or every unit sold outside Canada is included. The exact model and UPC are the boundary of the available evidence.
What Health Canada’s notice confirms
Health Canada published recall RA-82490 on August 27, 2026. It identifies the product as the PowerG Walking Pad and lists model number 499-4052 and UPC 8 46325 03115 8. Canadian Tire Corporation is named as the importer, and Sumec Hardware & Tools Co., Ltd. is listed as the manufacturer. The notice records China as the place of origin.
The stated problem is that the affected product does not meet the requirements of the relevant standard for its product category, creating an electrical hazard. The notice does not specify which component failed to meet the standard or describe a particular failure mode. That means owners should not try to decide safety from appearance, operating history or whether their unit has already shown a problem.
Who may be affected
The recall applies to the exact product configuration identified by Health Canada, not to a broad category of exercise equipment. The notice says 7,000 affected units were sold in Canada from January 2025 through July 2026. Those sales details help establish where and when the recalled products may have entered the market, but they do not replace the model and UPC check.
If your walking pad has a different model number or UPC, the supplied evidence cannot confirm that it is included in this recall. The same is true if you bought a similar-looking product at another retailer or outside Canada. Do not use the product’s color, shape, brand resemblance or store alone to make the determination.
What owners should do
- Stop using the product if the identifiers match. Health Canada’s official action is to immediately stop using the recalled walking pad.
- Return it to a Canadian Tire store. The listed remedy is a refund or in-store credit.
- Contact Canadian Tire if you need more information. The recall notice lists 1-800-387-8803. The stated hours are Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. Eastern time and Saturday and Sunday from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Eastern time.
- Report a safety incident if one occurred. Health Canada directs consumers to its Consumer Product Incident Report Form for health or safety incidents involving this product or another consumer product.
The notice does not instruct consumers to seek medical care, arrange a repair or dispose of the walking pad. It specifically directs owners to stop using the product and return it to Canadian Tire for a refund or in-store credit. The Canada Consumer Product Safety Act also prohibits recalled products from being redistributed, sold or given away in Canada.
What the recall does not establish
As of August 10, 2026, the company had received no reports of incidents or injuries in Canada, according to Health Canada’s notice. That is a dated reporting snapshot, not a finding that the product is safe. It does not cancel the regulator’s conclusion that the affected product poses an electrical hazard, and it does not establish the risk level for an individual unit.
The evidence also does not establish whether products sold in the United States or other countries are affected. The official notice describes Canadian sales and a Canadian remedy. Owners outside Canada should consult the applicable regulator, retailer or manufacturer notice rather than assume that the Canadian recall automatically applies to their purchase.
Why the identifiers matter
Recall decisions depend on the product configuration covered by the official notice. A store may sell multiple models that look alike, and a brand may use different identifiers across markets or production periods. Model 499-4052 and UPC 8 46325 03115 8 provide a more reliable check than a general description such as “PowerG walking pad.”
Independent coverage from Homeowner.ca also identifies the same model, UPC, Canadian Tire remedy and 7,000-unit sales figure. Its reporting reinforces the practical distinction between a confirmed match and a similar product, but Health Canada’s notice remains the controlling source for the official action.
Bottom line for Canadian owners
Check the model number and UPC against recall RA-82490. If both match, stop using the PowerG Walking Pad and return it to a Canadian Tire store for a refund or in-store credit. If the identifiers do not match, the supplied evidence cannot confirm that your item is affected; check the official Health Canada, Canadian Tire or manufacturer information for any separate notice. No deadline is stated in the available recall notice, so owners should follow the published return instruction rather than wait for additional symptoms or a product failure.
This is a Canada-specific recall with a narrow identifier test, not a warning about every walking pad or every PowerG product. Health Canada names model 499-4052 and UPC 8 46325 03115 8, says the product does not meet the relevant standard and directs owners to stop using it and return it to Canadian Tire for a refund or in-store credit. The notice reports no Canadian incidents or injuries as of August 10, 2026, but that dated snapshot does not override the electrical-hazard finding. The available evidence does not establish coverage outside Canada or provide a return deadline.
