Canada - Addition of Products Containing Button/Coin Batteries and the Packaging of Button/Coin Batteries to General Prohibitions under CCPSA
Business description
On September 18, 2026 Health Canada updated Table 3 of the General Prohibitions List under the Canada Consumer Product Safety Act (CCPSA) to include products containing button/coin batteries and the packaging of button/coin batteries.
Table 3 lists consumer product classes identified by Health Canada as health or safety hazards. Under the CCPSA, their manufacture, import, advertising, and sale are prohibited and may result in enforcement action.
A list of standards has been listed for performance criteria assessment on this category of product, covering toys and non-toys, as well as the packaging, both reclosable type and non-reclosable type. The corresponding labeling criteria standards are also listed in Table 3.
Products that do not meet the performance criteria set out in Table 3, or their equivalent, are not allowed to be manufactured, imported, advertised or placed on the market.
