Consumer Actions - Demanding Recalls, filing product complaints
If Health Canada keeps up with the willful blindness, get active!!
So yes, it must be bad enough to issue an official Public Advisory - Hand sanitizers MAY pose health risks! But what if Canadians nation wide started demanding immediate Safety Alerts & Recalls for COVID-19 vaccines and boosters? There is no adverse event reporting system on handsanitizer injuries and deaths that even comes close to the reporting on COVID-19 vaccine related Adverse Events.
Good luck to anyone who wants to wade through the bureaucracy involved in filing a recall individually. (See https://www.canada.ca/en/health-canada/corporate/about-health-canada/branches-agencies/health-products-food-branch/therapeutic-products-directorate.html#a2-5 for starters.)
Maybe writing your government representatives (MLAs and Senators) to ask them to help you as a citizen navigate the system might be one way of educating them as to the dangers of a product their colleagues are claiming is “safe & effective.”
This post suggests a few additional actions coming from a consumer rights angle.
What about simply complaining? Complain, complain, complain. Be the squeaky wheel on behalf of others who are no longer with us, or who are now in mourning or too disabled to advocate for themselves.
Here is an idea - one option, if one is referring to ONE or more specific incidents; if one has the specific details and if the statements about privacy protection are satisfying enough, one could submit this online with all the information filled in.
Another option, especially if many details are missing is to fill in what you choose to (or are able to), print it off and mail it. Copies could be mailed to the MPs and Senators representing those impacted. Alternatively, the printer software may let you save as a PDF for future emailing.
Or, one could try filling in general information, making screen shots as is being shared below and then email that to Health Canada as well as elected representatives, provincial colleges, any experts interviewed on radio programs who continue to insist on the safety of these products.
Here is a second type of form that could be submitted, although it requires many more details on the products, but then again, Health Canada should have the details anyway! Sending these partially competed forms could potentially also be an effective tool, at least to communicate the extent of the problem.

NEXT STEP - If you have taken the time to write up the information, forward it to the International Criminal Court… as they are now collecting information from Canadians. See the instructions here: https://www.canadiancovidcarealliance.org/media-resources/international-criminal-court-testimonies-an-appeal-to-canadians/
Given that https://www.pfizer.ca seems to also be registered as a business in Canada, one could use the information already gathered to file a complaint.
