Health Product Advertising Incidents related to COVID-19

The health and safety of all Canadians is Health Canada's top priority and we are taking urgent measures to protect consumers from illegal, false or misleading advertising of products claiming to mitigate, prevent, treat, diagnose, or cure COVID-19. These practices are deemed non-compliant with Canadian laws on advertising or marketing of health products.
