Health Canada issues recall for Spirit Halloween items

Health Canada is advising consumers to check all Spirit Halloween products on the list below due to ongoing health and safety concerns.

According to the Health Canada website, Spirit Halloween has agreed to voluntarily stop sale or recall products that do not meet Canadian health and safety regulatory requirements on several occasions.

However, Health Canada recently visited 45 stores across Canada and found that 23 stores continued to sell products that Spirit Halloween had previously agreed to stop selling or recall, the website said.

Spirit Halloween has recently come under fire from groups suggesting some of the store's costumes are racist or sexist.

• Indigenous costumes won't be pulled off store shelves, Spirit Halloween says
• University groups try to stave off offensive costumes pre-Halloween

A list of the items Health Canada identified are as follows:

• Spirit Halloween 100 Purple String Lights (SKU 01163427 )
• Spirit Halloween 100 Orange String Lights (SKU 01163435)
