Issue
The recalled product does not meet the labelling requirements and the child-resistant packaging requirements of the Consumer Chemicals and Containers Regulations, 2001 under the Canada Consumer Product Safety Act. The product poses an aspiration hazard if unintentionally inhaled or ingested, creating the risk of serious illness or injury, including death.
Aspiration into the lungs can occur when the product enters the lungs directly or is coughed up or vomited after being ingested. This coughing/vomiting could cause small particles of the product to travel into the lungs.
As of August 18, 2022, the company has received no reports of incidents or injuries in Canada.
