And there lays the heart of the problem with making a law to force the manufacturer to cover a long statuary warranty period. How on earth does the consumer get some random manufacturer in China pay up when something fails 6 months after purchase ?
In fact for that matter, who is the manufacturer ? Most companies now don't do their own manufacture of electronics products. So is the "manufacturer" the company that built the goods, the company whose name is on the goods, the wholesaler who brought them into the company ? At least with the retailer as the one responsible they are clearly defined and it gives the consumer someone to go back to with the faulty goods. Am I right in saying that in the US, under the law, that the consumer bears pretty much all of the risk of faulty products (excluding any extra cover that some manufacturers may choose to give) ? -- andynormancx Yes, it will. Yes, all of them. Yes, SoftSqueeze as well. What ?
