Your question is really not relevant, because most companies do not
restrict their behavior to the letter of the law. In other words, most
are more generous and consumer friendly than is required. Bad
reputations are more costly than replacing (when not required to) the
odd item here and there that are out of warranty. But of course there
are exceptions. 

Some companies (mostly retailers) are known to always accept a return
of their goods anytime, no matter what condition, no questions asked. I
suspect they believe the benefits of doing this far outweigh the cost.

Google can help you find whatever interests you concerning the American
UCC (Uniform Commercial Code). There are minor differences from place to
place. I'm not sure why you would care.

My comment was directed at some of the earlier vitriolic posts, and my
aim in making the comment before quoting your comment was to indicate I
was referring to others. Sorry if that was not clear.
