This requirement serves as an early warning and detection of health or safety issues that helps reduce the number of unsafe or potentially unsafe consumer products on the Canadian market. Health Canada and industry use this information to respond, where appropriate, to consumer product health and safety concerns. Click these links to report to Health Canada:
