The law of warranty protects consumer rights when purchasing products
The U.S. Congress enacted the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act in 1975. The Act establishes three basic rules in the sale of products to consumers:
- A seller-warrantor must designate its written warranty as either “full” or “limited.”
- A seller-warrantor must state certain specified information about the coverage of the warranty in writing and in clear and easy-to-read language.
- A seller-warrantor must ensure that warranties are physically present where the consumer products are sold so that consumers can read them before buying.
