TORONTO, April 16, 2015 /CNW/ - Canadian Tire is voluntarily recalling all units of the Garrison Small Security Safe (Product  #046-0035) and the Garrison Large Security Safe (Product  #046-0036) as a precautionary measure due to a product quality concern. Both products can be easily opened without the use of a key or numbered security code.

"We are dedicated to our customers and committed to offering them quality products built for life in Canada. When our products fail to meet our customers' quality standards then we make every effort to improve it or remove it from our shelves," said Greg Hicks, Senior Vice-President of Merchandising at Canadian Tire.

Canadian Tire is the exclusive retailer of Garrison Safes and affected units were sold at stores nationally between January 2005 and April 2015.

Customers who have purchased the recalled products should discontinue use and contact their local Canadian Tire store to arrange for an exchange or refund.
