# Major Recall Alert: Improper Labelling and Lack of Child-Resistant Packaging Poses Safety Risks for Canadian Consumers
A significant recall has been issued in Canada due to product safety concerns. The affected products fail to meet the labelling and child-resistant packaging requirements outlined in the **Consumer Chemicals and Containers Regulations, 2001** under the **Canada Consumer Product Safety Act**. The absence of proper labelling and child-resistant packaging increases the risk of unintended exposure to these products, which may result in serious illness or injury, particularly for children. While no reports of incidents or injuries have been received as of **December 22, 2025**, it’s crucial that consumers act swiftly to stay safe.
## Why This Recall is Important
Product recalls are issued to protect consumers from potential harm. In this case, the lack of appropriate labelling fails to provide necessary safety information, while the absence of child-resistant packaging poses significant risks of unintentional ingestion or exposure, especially for households with young children.
Hazardous chemicals, if improperly stored or used, can lead to accidental poisoning, respiratory issues, skin irritation, or other serious health complications. Ensuring compliance with the **Canada Consumer Product Safety Act** and the **Consumer Chemicals and Containers Regulations, 2001** is vital for public safety.
It is essential to address these safety deficiencies immediately to avoid preventable accidents.
