Product Liability

In the month of August 2016, Health Canada’s Consumer Product Safety division issued 101 product recalls; that’s 23 consumers, 27 food and 15 health products as well as 36 vehicles.

Defective or dangerous products are the cause of thousands of injuries every year in Canada. The law provides protections for consumers and others who may be injured by dangerous or defective products, and defines who is responsible when injuries occur.

The high-fat, high-carb, and high-calorie fast foods being consumed in record amounts throughout North America are thought to be a major cause for obesity, diabetes, and other serious nutrition-related health problems.
