Hazard identified

Health Canada’s inspection program found the recalled products are not provided with the required child-resistant closures and do not have proper hazard labelling required by the Consumer Chemicals and Containers Regulations, 2001 (CCCR, 2001) under the Canada Consumer Product Safety Act (CCPSA).

The lack of required warnings and lack of child-resistant closures could lead to improper use or storage of the product and present a risk of injury to consumers.

As of January 4, 2017, the company has received no report of incidents in Canada.
