TQELFSS epoxy kits: 2,868 cans with labels that hide the chemistry
Epoxy resin kits sold on Amazon.ca fail Canada's chemical labelling rules — 2,868 units across three sizes. Stop use, dispose as hazardous waste (31 Jul 2026).
TQELFSS · 2026-07-31
What happened
Health Canada warned on July 31, 2026 that TQELFSS Crystal Clear Epoxy Resin Kits — 1 gallon, 68 oz and 34 oz sizes sold on Amazon.ca — do not meet the labelling requirements of the Consumer Chemicals and Containers Regulations, 2001, risking unintentional exposure.
2,868 kits sold across three ASINs. No incidents reported. Owners stop use and dispose of the kits under municipal hazardous-waste rules — no refund path is named.
A Chinese Amazon brand's chemistry kit shipped to Canada without the warnings Canadian law puts on chemicals.
Why it happened
- Epoxy kits violate Canada's chemical labelling rules — 2,868 units on Amazon.ca across three ASINs; warned 31 Jul 2026
- The label is the safety device for a two-part chemical — the kit shipped without it
- The remedy is the hazardous-waste bin — the buyer pays for disposal on top of the purchase
The lesson
A resin kit is two chemicals that react — the label is what makes it a product instead of a hazard. Cross a border and the label's law changes; the chemistry does not.
