"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"2690502\" data-originallang=\"en\">We were involved with the Consumer Product Safety Act. What it does is take a precautionary principle perspective. It requires manufacturers to keep records and report incidents. It also gives the government the power to ban a product. Previously, there was only a negotiated ban with industry. While that has worked to some extent for the larger retailers, it doesn't get those really dangerous products off the market, like those sold in second-hand stores or smaller retail outlets. What we need is a more reactive system, a number of different options for government to address, and a mechanism to make parents aware of products that have been recalled. This way products that have been recalled are going to get off the shelves much faster.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"2690502\" data-originallang=\"en\">Nous avons particip\u00e9 \u00e0 l'\u00e9laboration de la Loi canadienne sur la s\u00e9curit\u00e9 des produits de consommation. La loi applique un principe de pr\u00e9caution. Elle oblige les fabricants \u00e0 tenir des dossiers et \u00e0 signaler les incidents. La loi conf\u00e8re \u00e9galement au gouvernement le pouvoir d'interdire la vente d'un produit. Par le pass\u00e9, il n'y avait qu'une interdiction n\u00e9goci\u00e9e avec l'industrie. Bien qu'il s'agisse d'une intervention efficace, dans une certaine mesure, aupr\u00e8s des grands d\u00e9taillants, cela ne permettait pas de retirer compl\u00e8tement les produits dangereux du march\u00e9, comme ceux vendus par des d\u00e9taillants de produits usagers ou des points de vente au d\u00e9tail. Nous devons adopter une approche plus r\u00e9active. Le gouvernement doit envisager diverses options et se doter d'un m\u00e9canisme permettant d'informer les parents des produits qui ont \u00e9t\u00e9 rappel\u00e9s. Ainsi, les produits ayant fait l'objet d'un rappel seront retir\u00e9s des tablettes plus rapidement. </p>"
