We’ve all heard stories of unsafe cribs sold in stores, dangerous levels of lead in children’s products and batteries that overheat and explode.
Canada’s out-of-date product safety laws leave families vulnerable to unsafe products that sometimes end up on store shelves.
So, last week, your Conservative government introduced new, tough provisions to help prevent unsafe products from getting into Canadian homes, and, into the hands of our children.
The Canada Consumer Product Safety Act includes new government powers to recall unsafe products and ways to ensure that industry keeps effective records to quickly track where they’ve sent unsafe products.
Bill C-36 will also require manufacturers or importers to provide test/study results on products when asked.
Safe products help ensure safe families and we all need the House of Commons to quickly pass this important legislation.
