About Consumer Product Recalls

The mandate of the Product Safety Programme is to regulate and monitor compliance of the advertisement, sale and importation of hazardous or potentially hazardous products that are not covered by other legislation and to provide clients with safety information. This legal mandate is derived from the Next link will open in a new window Hazardous Products Act, for those products scheduled in the Act, and in the case of cosmetics, is derived from the Next link will open in a new window Food and Drugs Act, and also implies a duty of care for unregulated products.

Recalls are initiated by an importer or a manufacturer after becoming aware that the product is or may have a safety concern. Health Canada works cooperatively with companies to ensure the effective and efficient removal of hazardous products from the marketplace.

A company should initiate a recall if a consumer product does not comply with legislation in Canada, or poses an unacceptable risk to the health and safety of consumers or users of the product. Next link will open in a new window Recalling Consumer Products - A Guide for Industry covers the basic steps to removing unsafe products quickly and completely from the market.
