Yarmouth Defective Products Lawyer

The  Canada Consumer Product Safety Act (CCPSA) outlines safety regulations, practices, and protocols for all businesses that manufacture, import, sell, advertise, package, label, or test non-commercial consumer products. Whereas the food and drugs industries are subject to different safety measures specific to the products they distribute for public consumption, the rules outlined in the CCPSA apply to:

• Domestic items (e.g. appliances, furniture, etc.)
• Recreational items (e.g. children’s toys, games, etc.)
• Sports items (e.g. equipment, gear, safety pads, etc.)
• And possibly more

The practices and regulations mandated within the CCPSA are designed to prevent unsuspecting consumers from sustaining injuries as a result of using the products they have purchased. If a product’s manufacturer deviates from these safety measures at any point in the production cycle, their wrongful actions could lead to potentially hazardous defects in the items they create. In these situations, the people who unwittingly purchase defective products could be seriously injured.

When the use of defective products leads to injury-causing accidents, it is often the direct result of its manufacturer’s negligence. In product liability claims, negligence is often related to:

• The product’s defective design
• Errors in the manufacturing process
• Improper product testing
• Errors, inaccuracies, or insufficient safety warnings on a product’s labels, packing, or advertising
• And more

In accordance with the CCPSA, if the manufacturer of a defective product learns about potential dangers associated with the use of their item, they are required to alert Health Canada immediately. After doing so, usually a nationwide recall of the defective product is initiated, so as to prevent further injuries from occurring. If a manufacturer fails to notify the proper authorities about potentially injurious defects in one of the products they make, they could be considered negligent should another injurious accident occur.
