Goodman recallCANADA: Air conditioning manufacturer Goodman has extended the recall it issued on certain of its products in the USA at the end of August to Canada.

On August 27, Goodman issued a recall in America on over 230,000 Amana, Century, Comfort-Aire, Goodman and York brand air conditioning units over concerns of a possible fault with its power cord which posed burn or fire hazards.

Approximately 3,800 products were sold in Canada.
