Toxic Substances in Consumer Products
Collection of materials about the need for better regulation of chemicals in products
Millions of product recalls and the discovery of hazardous chemicals in our housedust and indoor air underline an urgent need for modernizing the regulation of chemicals to control uses in consumer products. Canadians need legal rights and protections that would prevent toxic chemical use in products and vastly improve labelling information to warn consumers when chemicals are present.
