Recreational and Sports Products
Canadians enjoy a variety of sports and outdoor pursuits. Health Canada wants to help ensure that the recreational and sports products you use are safe and that you know how to use them properly.
How does Health Canada help keep you safe?
We work with industry and the public to help prevent product-related injuries and to promote safety and the safe use of recreational and sports products. We also encourage the design of safer products for the Canadian market by providing importers and manufacturers with hazard and product technical information.
