Children's Furniture and Equipment • Back to Keeping Kids Safe 2nd Hand Equipment There are safety standards that are legislated in Canada for children's equipment. They are covered under the Hazardous Products Act. If you wish to sell 2nd hand equipment and furniture, this link will provide you with helpful information. This is important information: for children, so they are not put at risk ofinjury for you, as you may be held liable for selling an item that no longer meets minimum safety standards  There are a few questions you may want to ask before selling or buying a 2nd hand item. How old is it? If replacement parts are needed to meet current standards, they may no longer be available. Are the instructions with the item? How else will you know if there are any missing parts or if it is assembled incorrectly? Are there obvious signs of wear and tear? You may want to think twice about anything that may have come into contact with body fluids such as cloth diapers, breast pumps, and infant feeding equipment. Finding out what requirements there are for different children's products can be challenging. The Consumer Product Safety Branch of Health Canada is responsible for testing new products and keeping people informed what to be looking for. The 'Is Your Child Safe' booklet is available online with more details.
