Major concerns with the labelling of personal care products
2/3/2009 at 9:39 AM
Per the linked article below, there appears to be pretty widespread contravening of Health Canada's new rules when it comes to the labelling of personal care products (cosmetics, aromatherapy oils, etc).
The article comes out of Ottawa, but this excerpt below gives an idea just how widespread it is:
"During one retail blitz, Canadian product safety inspectors flagged 47 personal-care products at a single store that contravened Health Canada's labelling rules.
On another occasion, inspectors acting on a complaint determined that between 80 and 90 per cent of the inventory at another store specializing in cosmetics and aromatherapy oils was "non-compliant" and 39 items were subject to voluntary removal"

Being that there were new rules put in place just over a year ago, is this something you would like to see be more strictly enforced? Or is it acceptable to have a grandfathering period of sorts while companies adjust?
