1,200 Al Fakher Pro Refill Device Kits Recalled in Canada Over Packaging 2026

Health Canada has announced a recall of 1,200 Al Fakher Pro Refill Device Kits sold across Canada between December 2025 and September 2026. The kits do not meet federal packaging rules for vaping products because they lack child-resistant packaging, a gap that regulators say can lead to serious poisoning if a child is exposed to the contents.

The recall was posted on October 19, 2026, under recall number RA-82789. As of October 15, 2026, the company had received no reports of incidents or injuries in Canada.

Why Was This Recall Issued?

According to Health Canada, the recalled products do not meet the packaging requirements set out in the Vaping Products Labeling and Packaging Regulations, which fall under the Canada Consumer Product Safety Act. These rules exist to keep vaping products out of the hands of children, and child-resistant packaging is one of their central requirements.

Health Canada notes that vaping substances containing nicotine present a poisoning risk if ingested. Packaging that is missing child-resistant closures can lead to unintentional exposure and cause serious illness or injury, including death.

The notice describes this as a packaging and labelling issue. It does not report any fault in how the device itself operates, and it does not describe any injuries linked to the product.

Who Should Be Concerned

Anyone who bought an Al Fakher Refill Pro Device Kit in Canada between December 2025 and September 2026 should check whether their kit matches one of the six colours listed above. The kits were sold by Genuine Vapes, a retailer based in Windsor, Ontario, and distributed by Genuine Distribution, also of Windsor.

Households with young children deserve particular attention. Nicotine-containing vaping liquids can be dangerous to small children if swallowed, and a kit left within reach without child-resistant packaging raises the chance of accidental exposure. Adults who vape should store any vaping products and refill liquids well out of sight and reach of children and pets.

What Should You Do?

Health Canada’s advice is direct: consumers should immediately stop using the recalled product and dispose of it. Do not keep the kit for later use, and do not pass it on to someone else.

For more information, consumers can contact Genuine Vapes in several ways:

• Phone: 519-971-9398, from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. EST
• Email: mike@genuinevapes.ca
• Website: genuinevapes.ca

The notice does not describe a refund or replacement process, so anyone seeking one should ask the company directly using the details above.

Retailers and other sellers should also note that the Canada Consumer Product Safety Act prohibits recalled products from being redistributed, sold or even given away in Canada.
