Warranty Improvement Act
United States Code Annotated
Title 15 Commerce and Trade
Chapter 50 Consumer Product Warranties 15 Section 2302
(c) No warrantor of a consumer product may condition his written or
implied warranty of such product on the consumer's using, in connection
with such product, any article or service (other than article or service
provided without charge under the terms of the warranty) which is
identified by brand, trade or corporate name; except that the
prohibition of this subsection may be waived by the commission if:
1) The warrantor satisfies the Commission that the warranted product will
function properly only if the article or service so identified is used
in connection with the warranted product, and
2) The Commission finds that such a waiver is in the public interest.
