Global recall for breast implants linked to rare cancer

A brand of breast implants that has been barred from sale in Canada is now also being pulled worldwide. Allergan issued a global recall Wednesday for its Biocell textured implants and tissue expanders after regulators alerted the company to a heightened cancer risk associated with them. Last year, we investigated the marketing of breast implants, including one woman's ordeal with breast implant illness.

Are Beyond Meat burgers healthier than beef?

Canadians are eating U.S.-based Beyond Meat's plant-based burger that's designed to taste just like beef. But is it better for you?

Frayed harnesses in Evenflo child car seats

Is your honey the real deal?

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency has found that fake honey cut with cheap syrup is being imported into the country as "pure honey."

Beekeepers say the only way to avoid getting duped is by shopping locally.

In an effort to crack down on food fraud, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency zeroed in on honey imports and found about 22 per cent of samples were 'adulterated' with cheaper sugars like rice and sugar cane syrup. (Justin Newsom/CBC)
