A line of USB wall chargers sold at Jean-Coutu stores are being recalled for a potential fire hazard.

The cube-shaped chargers were available in blue, purple, white, and black with the word “ibiZ” printed on the top.

The recalled model number is CB013 marked on one of the sides of the chargers, which have the potential to overheat and melt. This poses a fire and burn hazard.
