A new Quebec law took effect on October 5, 2025, banning products with intentionally shortened lifespans and requiring manufacturers and retailers to disclose information about spare parts availability, repair services, and product durability at the time of sale.
Products must be repairable using common tools and spare parts must be reasonably priced.
Non-compliance may result in penalties.
