I gave up my search for them and had my son pick me up some in Michigan. They are only about $4.00 for a package of 24 at Target. I washed a red and white quilt (pre-washed the red well) and the quilt still had a pink tint. I re-washed with two color catchers and it took it out. Good luck in your search!

i`ll let you know....probably will end up ordering it online
I'm sorry to say that the Colour Catchers are no longer available in Ontario. Believe me when I say, I searched every where and every known possibility. I was told several times that they were recalled and would not be restocked (HUH!). Anyway, after many disappointing searches, we found them on Amazon.com and ordered a case of them. Amazon.ca does not carry them either. Good luck in your search and if you find them in Ontario, please let us know!
