The most recent effort of Choice for improving product safety,
Did you know that in many cases businesses aren’t legally required to ensure the products they sell in Australia are safe?
Australia’s lax product safety laws mean that there’s little to stop unsafe products ending up in our homes. It often takes something going terribly wrong, like someone being injured, for a product to be recalled. This is why we need laws that require businesses to proactively ensure that products are safe before selling them.
Similar safety laws are already in place in the EU, Canada and the UK, but Australia is lagging behind. If we can show that thousands of people support an end to dangerous products the government will know they have overwhelming public support to introduce strong new safety laws.
