You can buy them, but they're expensive. Try this or this, or search the internet for "DPDT Decora" (which is a line of wall switches made by Leviton and copied extensively).

If it's a light switch meant to be installed in a household wiring box, it's fine. (This could lead to some interesting designs using non-North-American switch types.)
