What US Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act (15 USC ch 50): Consumer Product Warranties requires
The Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act (15 U.S.C. ch. 50) governs written warranties on consumer products, administered by the Federal Trade Commission. Section 2302 authorizes rules governing the content and disclosure of warranty terms, requiring that a written warranty fully and conspicuously disclose its terms in simple and readily understood language, and authorizing a pre-sale availability rule. Section 2303 requires a warrantor that gives a written warranty on a consumer product costing more than a threshold amount to designate the warranty conspicuously as full or limited. Section 2304 sets the federal minimum standards a full warranty must meet: the warrantor must remedy a defective product within a reasonable time and without charge, may not impose any limitation on the duration of an implied warranty, may not exclude or limit consequential damages unless the exclusion appears conspicuously on the face of the warranty, and must permit the consumer to elect a refund or replacement after a reasonable number of repair attempts. Section 2308 restricts the disclaimer of implied warranties, and section 2310 provides the remedies, including a private right of action by a consumer damaged by a warrantor's failure to comply, with attorney fees. The Act is the legal foundation for US consumer product warranty disclosure and fairness.
