Many of the findings were within the allowable limits, but the report says those limits are not strong enough.has rounded up the consumer and health news you need.Dollar store products often contain toxic chemicals, report finds
Cassie Barker, toxics manager for Environmental Defence, said internal lead can still be exposed if products break or wear down. Dollar Tree said that a similar study released in the U.S. two years ago prompted the company to remove 17 chemicals from its products. Finance Minister and Deputy Prime Minster Chrystia Freeland defended the luxury tax during an ongoing tour of Alberta on Wednesday.Gary Shuster's a big believer in public health care.

And this is news? Do any of these so called “inspectors” ever inspect? Or are they more like a true portrait of “Clouseau”s
You can smell it on there
The West is addicted to cheap goods, you get what you pay for!
There's a reason why it's cheap
It’s china what do you expect, the people are totally money driven. Regardless of outcome. Catch me if you can. When will our country start manufacturing in a meaningful way. Time to become more self sufficient.
Is this a surprise to anyone
Affects woman most?
The thing is many people with the high cost of living must go to the dollar store. I go for there bread cleaning stuff pop .Its cheaper but yes u get what u pay for.
As long as it's affordable for the masses and easy to access the government will be there to ensure it doesn't stay that way if it's in any way helpful to the people.
no shit
How is this surprising when probably 98% of this stuff is made offshore. Think Trudeau and CPC
What a shock 🙄 at least their fantanyl is high quality. That's why Canada post allows suppliers to get their poison delivered without delays.
You needed to test? 😂😂😂🤡🤡🤡
You did a report on toxic cadmium found in jewelry a number of years ago and you looked across the board at Ardene (which is a 💩 retailer), forever 21 etc. So what I don’t understand is why you only looked at so called toxic chemicals at the dollarstores?
What do you expect everything is made in CHINA 🇨🇳 toxic sweat slave labor facilities.
Absolutely shocked
Products made in China, what did you expect?
Propaganda. Big retailers want all the business with whatever price tag they wish.
why doest govt they test all soils and foods for glyphosate.... not products that some people use from the dollar store and any other stores that sell products from China. Do something that matters and affects health of all Canadians.Most other countries have banned glyphosate
Manufacturers were shipped to China under NAFTA. We are getting what the government ordered sh1tty product!
Sigh.
Why is it allowed in the country then?!
Not surprised in the least.
Will the move to ban Soy and other endocrine descriptors from the food chain It's chemical/biological warfare which is further feminizing our pusillanimous males. The population isn't this soft by chance.
No wonder
Every 2 or 3 years you guys post this article... what do you actually do about it..?
Christ stop hating on the dollar stores, I’ve got some great stuff from there that’s lasted. I don’t buy food but the canvas/ art supplies are fantastic. I’ve also found name branded stuff! This BS report won’t stop me
Still gonna shop there! Their art supplies are great! All these snobs on here that at shop at bougie turdholes like urban foods/whole foods etc. You also forget the Canadian tire/Walmart/London drugs are sell crap from China!!!
So why did CANADA allow them in at OUR borders? Just another Justin faux pas?
A scary thing is, staff handle all of the products in these stores on a daily basis. Some for years! Wonder if anyone has investigated whether there are similar illness issues in any past and current employees. Lead and other toxins are transdermally absorbed.
This has been a problem since they first opened. Cheap products that are often knock-offs of products that are safe. Ongoing monitoring required.
Well that’s a surprise…not!
Imagine working in those stores. The air must be full of toxic fumes.
Well, they're made in China
Patrici20635150
Now take the story to the correct spot instead of stopping short. Where are many Dollar Store items manufactured? Cmon you know…..It’s not racism stating facts….
I don’t believe you.
Obviously..all made in China or other countries where the manufacturing standards are lower. Do better at not importing ot allowing importation of they are so harmful.
Cheap China products have bad noxious chemicals in them? LMFAO. Who fu*king knew? Not the Canadian safeguards these guys claim keep you safe. clownworld
No kidding. That's why we get China to make everything.
Is anyone seriously surprised. The Chinese toxic waste is these stores should be banned
'Environmental Defense' is what exactly?
Stock crashing soon then 🤷🏾♂️🤣
Shocked said no one. They have all this crap made in Asia. All of it
You get what you pay for.
How many private jets and helicopters don't comply with Environmental Defence and what's the scale with 1 out of 4 products tested from the store? Anybody dared testing yet? Did I mention military...?
So Gov. Made up a B.S story just to Introduce a new tax. Okay
LoL. Did anyone read the part where it says it's in the allowable limits?
We need cheap options. Not worried
Yes, bleach was found to contain Chlorine which is very toxic.
Trudeau Government is more involved with making kids gay and giving them psychiatric drugs so they'll choose a pronoun and then support chopping off their genitals. Sicko. Degenerate and demonic.
Government more concerned about Chinese toxins than they are about the massive and suppressed vaccine fatalities and injuries. A perverted clown country.
Any product coming into Canada from China should be taxed heavily. drop the Carbon Tax on Canadians. We are not the problem these junk products from a terrorist state are
Canada must do a better job of inspecting this stuff before it gets to store shelves. That aside, we're far too dependent on trade with China. Even if it weren't mostly cheap, disposable, irresponsibly-made garbage, we're funding the CCP -- that isn't good for anyone. FuckTheCCP
Watch out for lights they sell as black lights or fluorescent lights that are actually UV bulbs. Pets will stare at UV because it so odd looking. Takes minutes of exposure for them to get cataracts and go blind. China is exporting them intentionally. People just don't know.
No surprise
Another way you could have spun this: none of the dollar store products exceeded Canadian safety guidelines. But I guess that wouldn’t have been as sexy.
You get what you pay for
Now do the vaccine
Can’t stand these stores. You can almost feel the chemical off-gassing walking into one.
Yeah, but they're also in the t-fal pans we buy for 40 bucks at other stores. Amd the chemicals were found inside the headphones. As long as you don't play with internal wiring, you should be fine.
