Moose Knuckles has agreed to clarify that some of its parkas are made with both Canadian and imported components, in accordance with the Bureau's "Product of Canada" and "Made in Canada" Enforcement Guidelines, as part of a settlement of the Competition Bureau's misleading advertising case against it. The Bureau alleged that Moose Knuckles marketed its parkas as Made in Canada when they are mostly manufactured in Vietnam and elsewhere in Asia.
