Consumers Warned About Certain Consumer Chemical Products Sold by Orange TKO Industries (Int'l) Inc.
(firmenpresse) - OTTAWA, ONTARIO -- (Marketwire) -- 08/10/11 -- The issue:
Health Canada is warning Canadians that a number of different consumer chemical products sold under the brand of Orange TKO Industries (Int'l) Inc. do not carry the mandatory labelling and child-resistant closure as required by the Consumer Chemicals and Containers Regulations, 2001. These products contain a level of D-limonene that can be hazardous, especially to children, if aspiration occurs.
D-limonene is extracted from citrus fruit (such as orange peel), and is commonly used as an ingredient in cleaners and other household chemical products to provide a citrus smell. Aspiration occurs when the product is coughed up or vomited after being ingested. This coughing/vomiting causes small particles of the product to travel into the lungs and may result in severe health effects including pulmonary injury, chemical pneumonia or death.
Who is affected?
Consumers who have purchased any of the Orange TKO Industries (Int'l) Inc. products identified in this advisory.
What consumers should do
What Health Canada is doing?
In order to help protect the health and safety of the public, Health Canada has requested Orange TKO Industries (Int'l) Inc. voluntarily recall their non-compliant products from the Canadian market.
Health Canada will continue to monitor and take appropriate enforcement action on consumer chemical products containing D-limonene that are not in compliance with the Regulations.
Background:
