Recently, the Honourable Leona Aglukkaq, federal Minister of Health announced that the Canada Consumer Product Safety Act (CCPSA), has been passed by Parliament and, upon Royal Assent, would become law.
The new CCPSA will better protect the health and safety of Canadians by:
● prohibiting the manufacture, importation, advertisement or sale of any consumer products
that pose an unreasonable danger to human health or safety;
● requiring industry to report when they know about a serious incident, or death, related to
their product to provide government with timely information about important product safety
issues
● requiring manufacturers or importers to provide test/study results on products when asked;
● allowing Health Canada to recall dangerous consumer products; and
● raising fines and penalties for non-compliance.
An accelerated implementation plan is being developed in order to facilitate the Canada Consumer Product Safety Act coming into force in the next few months. To make the transition from the Hazardous Products Act to the new legislation as smooth as possible, the Government will be actively communicating with industry to inform them of the coming-into-force date and their new obligations and requirements under the Act. The Government is also committed to keeping consumers informed as to how the legislation will affect them and the products they buy.
