Health Canada suspends license of chemical testing laboratory for providing falsified results

Health Canada has suspended the Establishment Licence of Chemi Pharmaceutical Inc. of Mississauga, Ont., after uncovering falsified testing results during the course of an inspection. Health Canada is verifying the nature and use of testing done by Chemi Pharmaceutical Inc. with the company's customers. Our survey of clients to date indicates that only a portion of the company's work involved testing of final products before they entered the Canadian market. However, as a precautionary step, companies that have had testing done by Chemi Pharmaceutical are being asked to temporarily halt sales of those products until their safety can be confirmed.
