Canada's Competition Bureau investigates Leon's Furniture and The Brick for deceptive marketing practices

The Competition Bureau of Canada is investigating Leon’s Furniture and The Brick for potential deceptive marketing practices. A recent court order requires the companies to provide documents related to their pricing and promotions. The investigation began in July 2023, focusing on claims about promotional pricing. The bureau found instances where products were advertised as on sale without ever being offered at a regular price. The bureau's affidavit highlights concerns about misleading promotions, including claims of limited-time offers that continued beyond their stated end dates. The companies have stated they are cooperating with the investigation.
