Packaging Companies are Selling Fake Child Resistance Certificates

In recent years, there have been reports of packaging companies selling fake child resistance certificates to unsuspecting consumers. These companies claim to have tested their products and found them to be compliant with child resistance standards, when in fact they have not.

Child resistant packaging is important for keeping potentially harmful products out of the hands of children. This type of packaging is required by law for products in our industry including flower, pre rolls, and edibles. It is designed to be difficult for children to open, but not so difficult that adults cannot access the contents easily.

However, some packaging companies have been taking advantage of this requirement by selling fake child resistance certificates to their clients. These companies will present a child resistance certificate to authorizing bodies that could very well be counterfeit. Whether you agree or disagree with the child resistant requirement, this still creates a number of problems within the industry.

Not only is this illegal, but could potentially create a false sense of security among consumers when having these products among children. Customers who believe the contents of their packaging is safe around their kids may not take the same precautions as those who know they do not have child resistant packaging.

Furthermore, these fake certificates undermine the credibility of the child-resistance certification process as a whole. This makes it difficult for consumers to trust that the products they are purchasing are actually safe for use around children.

It is important for consumers to be aware of this issue and to take steps to protect themselves and their families. When purchasing products that are required to have child resistant packaging, it is important to look for legitimate certification from a reputable testing organization.

In conclusion, the sale of fake child resistance certificates by packaging companies is a serious problem that puts children at risk and undermines the credibility of the certification process. Consumers should be aware of this issue and take steps to protect themselves and their families.
