Did you know that Bumbo Baby Sitter seats are being removed from the shelves so that their instructions, packaging and labeling can be updated to more strongly state that they should not be used on any elevated surface? Or that the Go Diego Go! Animal Rescue Boat was just recalled due to yet another lead paint issue? Or that there’s been a recall of certain beef products because they may be contaminated with E. coli? Or that all this info is now available in one place?
Last week the Government of Canada launched a new site – Healthy Canadians – and it’s a one stop health shop, combining recall info from Health Canada and the Canadian Food Inspection Agency. Not only can you track all food and children’s product recalls in one place, but there’s info on healthy eating, healthy pregnancy, active kids, family safety, the Children’s Fitness Tax Credit, toy safety tips and more. You can also sign up for info on food recalls and product safety news, or just rely on us to keep you posted. We are a bit worried that there are so many toy and food recalls that they need a site all of their own, but at least it’s an easy and centralized way to find the info.
