Which is precisely why EU consumer law now requires that a product have a "reasonable" lifespan, rather than a fixed warranty period. If a TV fails after 13 months a manufacturer isn't allowed to say "but it only has a 12 month warranty", because a reasonable person would expect a TV set to last longer than a year.
