Reported risk: It has been identified that the C500 and C1000 experiment kits contain hazardous chemicals and have been sold in Canada without the required safety warning statements and labels. These labels direct the user to important safety information regarding use of the chemicals provided with the product and communicate recommended age suitability for use of the products. In addition, it has been identified that the C2000, C3000, and the Spectacular Science experiment kits contain prohibited substances under the Canada Consumer Product Safety Act and its Regulations. Inclusion of prohibited substances and a lack of required labelling can both lead to serious adverse health effects. Neither Health Canada, nor Filosofia, nor Thames & Kosmos have received any reports of incidents or injuries to Canadians related to the use of these products.
