Featured video: New warranty and repair obligations for consumer goods

Many consumer products in Québec, such as electric appliances, cell phones and computers, will soon be covered by enhanced warranties of good working order and repair under recent changes to the Consumer Protection Act.

  • The ban on planned obsolescence and other techniques that may render it challenging for consumers to repair goods
  • The scope of the new warranty of good working order, including new disclosures for the benefit of consumers
  • The new presumption of liability for directors and officers of organizations in breach of these new requirements
