About Consumer Product Recalls

Consumer Product Safety is responsible for products intended for children, household chemicals, cosmetics and many other consumer products. The mandate of Consumer Product Safety is to regulate and monitor compliance of the advertisement, sale and importation of hazardous or possibly hazardous consumer products, and to provide consumers with safety information. This legal mandate comes from the Hazardous Products Act, for those products scheduled in the Act, and from the Food and Drugs Act for cosmetic products.

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.
