Household Products
Many products in your home are designed to make like safer, healthier and more efficient. Yet the unsafe use of some of these everyday products might cause undesirable health effects.
How does Health Canada help keep your household safe?
We work with industry and the public to help prevent product-related injuries and to promote safety and the safe use of household products. We also encourage the design of safer products for the Canadian market by providing importers and manufacturers with hazard and product technical information.
The Department takes action on several fronts. Health Canada:
- Conducts research on potential hazards associated with consumer products,
- Raises awareness of potential risks of injury through our product safety advisories, warnings and recalls,
- Develops and enforces product safety regulations and standards, and
- Provides channels for reporting a product-related injury or death, or a safety-related issue with a consumer product.
