The Applicant advertises and sells in Canada the “Thrive DFT Patch” [Patch] as part of a series of “premium lifestyle” products. In June of 2015, the Applicant alerted Health Canada of its intention to sell the Patch as a cosmetic and was subsequently issued a cosmetic number by Health Canada. Shortly after the launch of the Patch, Health Canada advised the Applicant that it took issue with the Patch’s classification as a cosmetic and noted that the Patch may satisfy the definition of a natural health product [NHP], for which a license was required.
