I have only just realised that US consumer law seems to be well behind UK, seeing remarks aboutStore warranty of 3o days etc.. . Or have I been reading the wrong bits of posts - or just misunderstood ?
We have the Sale of Goods Act which simply states that the goods must be fit for the purpose they are sold for - if they're not, you get a replacement/reimbursed. Also the Warranty period is generally at least a year, but this is over-ridden by the "reasonable time" clause, which usually means the end of " hard luck, your Warranty finished yesterday."
And, a very important point, the buyers contract is with the seller - not the manufacturer, so the seller is responsible for sorting it out, and is the one liable in proceedings.
Is this so different to US practise ?
