What's This About?
DBDPE is a key safety feature used in everything from appliances to consumer electronics to cars and planes.

DBDPE is a flame retardant that helps keep consumers safe. It is used in many of the products found in our households. However, the Canadian government is considering banning DBDPE. Canada would be the only country in the world where this safety feature is banned. Canadians deserve the same access to safe products as consumers everywhere else. That's why it's important that you take action and stand up for consumer safety.

Keeping Canadians Safe
Canadians deserve safe products

Consumer safety standards are incredibly important. They help keep our families safe when using appliances, electronics, cars, planes and more. Right now, Canada's high safety standards are being put at risk. Banning this safety product would likely put many consumer goods at greater risk of catching and spreading fire.

Safety should be a primary concern for government when it comes to consumer goods. Canada should be leading the world in safety – not banning key safety features.
