Canada should lead the world in consumer safety - not ban a key safety feature found in everyday products.

Canadian consumers deserve access to safe products and to be assured that our country has the highest safety standards in the world. But a ban being considered on a key safety feature could put Canadians at risk.

What's This About?
The Canadian government is considering banning a key safety feature that helps prevent everyday consumer products from catching fire.

This product -- a type of flame retardant -- helps keep consumer products safe. It is found in thousands of everyday items, from appliances and home electronics to cars and airplanes. Canada would be the only country in the world where this safety feature is banned. That could not only affect Canadian's access to the latest consumer goods, but could make the products Canadians purchase less safe. Canadians deserve the same access to safe products as consumers everywhere else. That's why it's important that you take action and stand up for consumer safety today.

Canadians deserve the same access to safe products as consumers around the world.
Banning this feature will likely restrict access to products for Canadians that are available everywhere else.
Not only could it affect Canadian's access to the latest consumer goods, but would likely make the products Canadians do purchase less safe.
