The recall, which affects about 45,373 units, involves countertop water dispensers produced with a different, uncertified base with openings and the bases were contrary to the originals listed in the CSA certification report.

The new bases have not been certified to the standard by CSA International and could pose a shock, fire and smoke hazard.

The affected models bear a cCSAus mark with file number 218326.
