Compliance Verification Project 2025-2026: Pacifiers Regulations
Consumer Product Enforcement Summary Report
Fiscal Year 2025-2026
Summary
The Consumer Product Safety Program (CPSP) administers and enforces the Canada Consumer Product Safety Act (CCPSA) and its regulations.
The purpose of this Compliance Verification (CV) project was to verify industry's compliance of pacifiers with the requirements of the Pacifiers Regulations, Consumer Products Containing Lead Regulations, and the Phthalates Regulations.
For this project, the CPSP carried out a market survey to determine the presence of establishments selling, importing, or manufacturing pacifiers in Canada. Compliance of select pacifiers (from that survey) was determined through an evaluation process where Health Canada inspectors visited establishments both online and in-person and sampled relevant products. Compliance with the requirements listed under the Pacifiers, Consumer Products Containing Lead, and Phthalates Regulations was verified through testing at the Product Safety Laboratory.
Over the course of the 2025-2026 fiscal year, mechanical and chemical testing of 18 different products was carried out, where all samples tested were imported products. No compliance issues were detected following testing and therefore no corrective actions were required.

Disclaimer: Inspectors apply a systematic bias during the selection of establishments and samples. Inspectors do not select products randomly; instead, they select the ones that are more likely not to meet health and safety requirements. Due to this biased nature of sampling and the fact that sample sizes within CV projects are very small, Health Canada does not consider the findings of CV projects to reflect overall market compliance, unless otherwise stated. Note that these summary reports relate only to the product(s) actually tested and the specific criteria measured in this project. Testing by Health Canada does not represent approval or endorsement of the product(s).
