False. Take and any non-measurable set . The vertical line is a planar Lebesgue null set: each segment can be enclosed in rectangles of arbitrarily small area, and the line is a countable union of these segments. Consequently its subset is a Lebesgue measurable set of planar measure zero, by Completeness of Lebesgue measure.
A nonempty factor can therefore have too little Lebesgue measure to transmit the other factor's failure of measurability. Its exceptional vertical section at is consistent with Lebesgue measurable sections being guaranteed only almost everywhere.
