Let $\kappa $ be a cardinal number with the usual order topology. We prove that all subspaces of $\kappa ^2$ are weakly sequentially complete and, as a corollary, all subspaces of $\omega _1^2$ are sequentially complete. Moreover we show that a subspace of $(\omega _1+1)^2$ need not be sequentially complete, but note that $X=A\times B$ is sequentially complete whenever $A$ and $B$ are subspaces of $\kappa $.
A refined common generalization of known theorems (Arhangel’skii, Michael, Popov and Rančin) on the Fréchetness of products is proved. A new characterization, in terms of products, of strongly Fréchet topologies is provided.
