Summer Safety
Drive around the city on a sunny Saturday morning and you’ll see signs dot the power poles indicating “garage sale today.”
It is summer in Saskatchewan and many of us are cleaning out items we no longer need, wonder why we ever bought, the children have out grown, or just simply moving. What ever the item, bargains can be found at any garage sale. As the old saying goes “one man’s junk is another man’s treasure.”
Maybe we should be wondering if that man’s junk could be a hazard for me and my family. The Hazardous Products Act is administered by Health Canada. Under the law you cannot import, sell or distribute products that do not meet the requirements of the Hazardous Products Act.
Baby Walkers – are illegal for sale in Canada as of April 2004. Anyone with one of these items should destroy it or discard it so that it can not be used by someone else.
