Hazard identified

Health Canada's auditing process has revealed that these products do not have the necessary labelling and child-resistant closures, as required by Canadian law.

The warnings currently on the product are meant for workplace use only; they do not fulfill the regulatory requirements in place to educate Canadian consumers about the hazards associated with consumer chemical products.

This lack of child-resistance and appropriate warning labels could result in serious illnesses or injuries.

Neither Health Canada nor Savon Roby Inc. has received reports of incidents or injuries to Canadians related to the use of these products.
