About Consumer Product Recalls
Consumer Product Safety
is responsible for
products intended for

cosmetics and many other consumer products.
The mandate of
Consumer Product Safety

for those products scheduled in the Act,
and from the
Food and Drugs Act

Consumers can contact their nearest Product Safety Regional Office if they have health or safety concerns about a particular product.
Further information is available on purchasing safer consumer products, and safe use of products.

Recalls are initiated by a company after becoming aware that the product is or may have a safety concern. Health Canada works with companies for the effective and efficient removal of hazardous products from the marketplace.
A company should initiate a recall if a consumer product does not meet the legislation in Canada, or poses an unacceptable risk to the health and safety of consumers or users of the product. Recalling Consumer Products - A Guide for Industry covers the basic steps to removing unsafe products quickly and completely from the market.
