7.11 Warranty Laws
The following laws govern warranties that arise in retail sales of consumer goods:
•
The California Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act [CC §§1790 et seq],
•
The California Uniform Commercial Code, Division Two [Com C §§2101 et seq],
and
•
The federal Magnuson-Moss Warranty Federal Trade Commission Improvement
Act [15 USC §§2301 et seq; 16 CFR Parts 701– 703]. A typical Magnuson-Moss
Act warranty is a written promise that the product is free of defects or a written
promise to refund, repair, or replace defective goods. [See 15 USC §2301(6).]
Remedies include damages for failing to honor a written warranty or service
contract or for violating disclosure provisions. [See 15 USC §2310(d).] Except for
some labeling and disclosure requirements, the federal Act does not preempt state
law. [See 15 USC §2311.]
The Consumer Warranty Act does not affect the rights and obligations of parties
under the state Uniform Commercial Code, except the provisions of the Act prevail
