# Major Recall Alert: Cream Chargers Recalled Due to Unauthorized Market Authorization (DIN) for Inhalation in Canada
Consumers in Canada who use cream chargers should be aware of a recent urgent product recall. The affected products, sold under the brands Best Whip, Exotic Whip, and Nitrox, are being pulled from the market because they lack proper market authorization for inhalation use. Here's what you need to know to stay safe.
## Why This Recall is Important
The misuse of nitrous oxide chargers, commonly referred to as cream chargers or whip-its, has become a public safety concern. These products are typically designed for culinary purposes, such as whipping cream, but have also been used recreationally for inhalation despite the associated health risks. In Canada, products intended for inhalation must have proper market authorization, specifically a Drug Identification Number (DIN), to ensure their safety and compliance with regulations.
The absence of market authorization means these products have not been evaluated for their safety when used as intended or misused. Improper use or exposure to such products can pose serious health risks, including oxygen deprivation, loss of motor control, and even long-term neurological damage.
