Information on Health Canada's approach to the General Prohibitions under the Canada Consumer Product Safety Act

Under the Canada Consumer Product Safety Act (CCPSA), the Government of Canada, regulated parties – those who manufacture, import, advertise, sell or distribute consumer products in Canada – and consumers, all play important roles in addressing dangers to human health or safety posed by consumer products. The intent of this page is to inform regulated parties of Health Canada's approach to the General Prohibitions (GPs) under the CCPSA.
