A product’s warranty is your first line of defense in lemon law cases. Here’s what to consider:
Types of Warranties:
- Manufacturer Warranty: Covers defects in materials or workmanship.
- Extended Warranty: Optional plans that provide additional coverage beyond the standard warranty.
- Implied Warranty: Legal assurance that the product will perform as expected.
When a Warranty Qualifies for Lemon Law:
- The defect substantially impairs the product’s use or safety.
- The manufacturer is unable to fix the defect within a reasonable timeframe.
