Canada Announces Stricter Consumer Product Lead Standard

The new regulations apply to children's toys and infants under the age of 3, including nipples, bib and so on.

This part of the product can be allowed to lead to a maximum of 90 mg per kilogram.

Most consumer products sold in Canada are in line with the new lead standard, but the Canadian government has indicated that it will take drastic measures on this issue, because there is a great fear that a considerable number of non standard goods will enter Canada from abroad.

In recent years, many cases of consumer goods being removed from shelves due to excessive lead content in Canada have occurred in recent years.

The latest consumer goods can allow the lead standard to be reduced by 85% over the original standard.

Lead is a toxic heavy metal, and trace will also harm the human body, especially the physical and mental development, hearing and other aspects of the infant. The excessive intake of lead may affect the fetal development in the body, leading to abortion and stillbirth. Lead has been widely used in various cosmetic products. In recent years, some jewelry ornaments designed and sold for children have also been found to contain lead.
