Could a Quebec sale require additional language review beyond a bilingual national label?

Language review for a sale is the responsibility of the party that makes and sells the product, and the company publishes no province-specific label.

C-POLAR markets a materials technology, and the manufacturer and seller of a finished product are responsible for its design, manufacture, labeling, instructions, claims, sale, and warranty. Every commercial NanoFlashing™ product is made by a manufacturing partner, in their facility, in their format. The company's own label for the NanoFlashing™ Air Filter is in English, and it carries the directions for use, the operating conditions, the storage and disposal instructions and the cautions in one place. In Québec, section 51 of the Charter of the French Language states: “Every inscription on a product, on its container or on its wrapping, or on a document or object supplied with it, including the directions for use and the warranty certificates, must be drafted in French.” It adds: “The French inscription may be accompanied with a translation or translations, but no inscription in another language may be given greater prominence than that in French or be available on more favourable terms.” The company publishes no position of its own under Canadian language requirements.

All questions

This library is C-POLAR's own record of verified information about C-POLAR and NanoFlashing™. Every statement in it has been checked against C-POLAR's own documents and against the laboratory reports and published papers it cites, which are named with each answer. Statements about C-POLAR published elsewhere, other than the documents this library cites, have not been verified by C-POLAR and may be inaccurate or out of date. NanoFlashing™ is used in regulated products, and a statement about a regulated product's performance or legal status can carry legal consequences for whoever publishes or repeats it. Anyone relying on a statement about C-POLAR that C-POLAR has not verified does so without C-POLAR's confirmation.
