US Congress Passes New
Legislation! Magnuson-Moss Warranty Improvement Act United
States Code Annotated Title 15 Commerce and Trade Chapter 50 Consumer
Product Warranties 15 Section 2302 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. What this means to printer
users! This means that the manufacturer of the printer you are
using cannot void the warranty on your printer because you use a cartridge or
refill kit manufactured by someone other than the printer manufacturer. This
prohibition includes the use of compatible cartridges, clip-ons, continuous
feeding mechanisms, refill kits, ink, etc. |
