• Ever hear of the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act? It's a federal law concerning the following:
  • If a product comes with a written warranty, even a short or limited one, the seller cannot refuse to take responsibility for a significantly defective product, claiming the product was sold "as is" or "all sales final."
  • You can report sellers who ignore demands to cure defects to: The Federal Trade Commission and the attorney general for the state in which the seller is based.
