The Competition Bureau received a complaint in June 2005 alleging that men’s suits sold by a national import/retail company did not comply with the labelling requirements of the Textile Labelling Act and the Textile Labelling and Advertising Regulations. 

An examination conducted by the Bureau revealed that the fibre content disclosure did not meet the requirements of the Act and Regulations. The articles were also not labelled with adequate dealer identification.

The Bureau contacted officials with the company and, as a result of the Bureau’s examination, they agreed to resolve the matter by re-labelling various suits in such a manner that complied with the Act and Regulations. They also ensured that future shipments would be labelled with the required information.

This matter was resolved in March 2006.
