We have been telling everyone that would listen that we expected to see a rise in Health Canada actions against non-compliant products. Our predictions appear to have been correct – in July there have already been 3 product recalls of consumer chemical products due to incorrect hazard labelling and packaging. In the 6 prior months of 2008, there were exactly 2. The full list of product recalls is available here. The product types were as follows:
- July 2008 – Spray on Foundation – Label lacked necessary hazard symbols and text
- July 2008 – 6 Liquid Dish Soaps – Labels lacked necessary warning symbols and text
- July 2008 – Aerosol Hair Product – Label lacked necessary warning label
- May 2008 – 7 Home Fragrances – Label lacked necessary warning label
- April 2008 – Fabric Cleaner – Container lacked child safety cap
