Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The most appropriate authority for the recall of the children's hockey sticks coated with lead paint would be the Hazardous Products Act, which includes a ban on inherently dangerous products. The presence of lead paint on the hockey sticks constitutes a danger to the health and safety of children, and falls under the definition of an inherently dangerous product. This act provides the authority to regulate and recall such products in Canada. While consumer protection legislation and the Dangerous Goods Act may also be relevant in regulating dangerous products, they do not provide the specific authority for a recall in this case.
