§ 1795 Non-Manufacturer Warranty Obligations

This law says that if someone other than the manufacturer makes a promise about a product, they have to keep that promise just like the manufacturer would.

Key Takeaways

  • •If a seller or anyone else makes a promise about a product, they have to keep it.
  • •The promise is just as strong as if the manufacturer made it.
  • •This applies to things like warranties or guarantees.

Example

If a store sells you a TV and says it has a 2-year warranty, but the TV breaks after 1 year, the store has to fix or replace it just like the TV maker would.

The store made a promise about the TV, so they have to follow through, just like the company that made the TV.
