Unlicensed medical devices "Cryosaunas" illegally imported to Canada and possibly linked to a death in the U.S.

Health Canada is advising Canadians that several clinics in Ontario and at least one in Québec are currently using illegally imported medical devices, Cryosaunas, which are potentially linked to a death in the US. Cryosaunas use liquid nitrogen to expose users to cold air (at or below -200-300°F) for several minutes for the purpose of "whole body therapy".
