Details of the Magnusson-Moss Warranty Act
The Magnusson-Moss Warranty Act is the nationwide federal legislation that is also known as Lemon Law. It consists of two parts – an act and a code – which deal with defective vehicles and products within the United States of America. It details the wide scope of warranty suits and consumer rights to a refund, repairs or new car if theirs is found to be defective. The specific details vary between each state, but the overall meaning and content is the same across the country.
The Act is a federal law to protect buyers of any product costing over $25 that includes a written warranty. It prohibits manufacturers from offering unfair or useless warranties and allows claimants to sue for the cost of their attorney, making it affordable and available to all citizens.
It protects consumer rights when buying cars, associated parts or equipment and any other product, giving full cover and peace of mind for each purchase.
