M & B Salt Remover Recalled in Canada Over Rupture Hazard Risk

Health Canada has issued a recall for M & B SALT REMOVER, a pressurized 300 g container product, due to a potential mechanical failure and rupture hazard caused by internal corrosion of the can. As of July 14, 2026, the company had received 3 reports of incidents with no injuries reported in Canada.

What Products Are Being Recalled?

The recall involves ‘M&B SALT REMOVER’, identified by UPC 777389142200, sold in a 300 g pressurized container. The affected product was manufactured in Canada by Empack Spraytech Inc. and distributed by Moneysworth & Best Inc. (M&B), both based in Brampton, Ontario. Approximately 54,716 units were sold across Canada between 2019 and 2026.

Why Was This Recall Issued?

The recall was issued because the pressurized container may experience mechanical failure, or rupture, due to internal corrosion of the can.
