Recalls and safety alerts widget
Get up-to-date and reliable health and safety information delivered right to your web page.
You can add the Government of Canada Recalls and Safety Alerts widget to your web page, blog and even certain social networking pages. This widget brings together all recalls and advisories about consumer, health and food products issued by Health Canada, Transport Canada and the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA).
Once installed, you can customize the widget to deliver advisories only on the topics you are interested in (for example, about food or medicine only). You can also tailor the size and colours to fit your site's needs and/or personal preferences.
As well as providing timely safety information, the widget will link you to online tools so you can report health and safety incidents. By notifying the government about unsafe products, you can take an active role in preventing future health and safety problems.
