Loblaw is pulling wasp traps from its shelves after a woman in Toronto posted images on Facebook showing they can also trap birds.
Phoenix Pike posted what appear to be chickadees stuck to a TrapStik wasp trap, which she says she purchased at Real Canadian Superstore, a division of Loblaw Companies.
After learning this, Loblaw removed the product.
Tammy Smitham, a spokesperson for Loblaw, says that this is the first time the company has heard about concerns with the product.
“While we are aware that other Canadian retailers carry this item, we have made the proactive decision to remove the product from our shelves,” Smitham said in a statement to CTV News.
Meantime the maker of TrapStiks says that, “relative to the number of trapstiks we sell every year, catching a bird is an extremely rare."
