A new Quebec law came into effect Sunday aimed at protecting consumers against planned obsolescence while ensuring they have the information needed to repair and maintain goods they buy.

Quebec’s so-called “right-to-repair” law, part of the province’s amendments to its consumer protection law, will require retailers and manufacturers to disclose whether replacement parts and repair services are available and maintenance information is made clear ahead of a sale.
