Health Canada has issued a nationwide recall for various scents of Godrej Aer Spray sold exclusively at Walmart Canada, after the products were found to violate federal labelling requirements for consumer chemical products. The agency warns that the missing information could lead consumers into unintentional exposure, with the potential for serious illness or injury, including death.

The recall, dated August 26, 2026, covers six scent varieties of the aerosol air freshener, all packaged in 300 ml pressurized metal containers and imported from India. According to the company, 10,874 units were sold across Canada between January 2026 and August 2026.

What Products Are Being Recalled?

The recall applies to ‘Godrej Aer Spray’ in the following six scents, each sold under distinct UPC codes:

  • Cool Surf Blue – UPC 8 901023 032622
  • Fresh Lush Green – UPC 8 901023 032660
  • Petal Crush Pink – UPC 8 901023 032684

Why Was This Recall Issued?

Health Canada says the recalled spray cans do not meet the labelling requirements set out under the Consumer Chemicals and Containers Regulations, 2001, part of the Canada Consumer Product Safety Act. Proper labelling on chemical consumer products is meant to warn users about safe handling, ingredients, and potential hazards.

Without this information clearly displayed, consumers may not recognize the risks associated with the product, increasing the chance of unintentional exposure. Health Canada states that such exposure could result in serious illness or injury, and in severe cases, death.

As of August 20, 2026, the importer had received no reports of incidents or injuries linked to the product in Canada.

Who Is Affected?

Because the product was distributed nationally through Walmart Canada, the recall affects consumers across the country who purchased any of the six Godrej Aer Spray scents between January and August 2026. The product is manufactured by Godrej Consumer Products Ltd. in Mumbai, India, and imported into Canada by Verka Food International Ltd., based in Surrey, British Columbia.

What Should You Do?

Consumers who have any of the recalled Godrej Aer Spray products at home are advised to stop using them right away. The next step is straightforward: return the product to any Walmart Canada store for a full refund.

Anyone with questions can reach Verka Food International by phone at 1-877-710-8081, available 9 am to 5 pm PT, Monday through Friday, or by email through the company. Consumers can also visit the company’s website for further details.

Health Canada reminds the public that under the Canada Consumer Product Safety Act, it is illegal to redistribute, resell, or even give away a recalled product once notified. Anyone who experiences a health or safety issue connected to this or any other consumer product is encouraged to file a report through Health Canada’s Consumer Product Incident Report Form.

Official Statement

In its notice, Health Canada reiterated that the affected Godrej Aer Spray products ‘do not meet the labelling requirements’ of the applicable regulations, and stressed that the resulting lack of safety information ‘could result in unintentional exposure to the products and lead to serious illness or injury, including death.’ The recall has also been posted to the OECD Global Portal on Product Recalls for international visibility.

The recall is identified under reference number RA-82526 and remains active as of its original publication date of August 26, 2026.
