Establishes a warranty for new consumer goods with a purchase price of five hundred dollars or more per unit
This bill (A 6133) establishes a mandatory 2-year warranty for new consumer goods purchased in New York State with a price of $500 or more per unit. It requires manufacturers to repair or replace defective items at no cost to the consumer if problems persist after a reasonable number of attempts, or if the item is inoperable for 30+ days during the warranty period. Consumers must report issues to the manufacturer within 2 years, and manufacturers must respond within 7 days to initial reports or 20 days to refusal notices. The law also mandates a clear "Consumer Goods Bill of Rights" notice for these items, outlining rights to free repairs, replacements, or refunds for substantial defects, while allowing manufacturers to deny claims for abuse, neglect, or unauthorized modifications.
