UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

BEFORE THE FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION

COMMISSIONERS: Lina M. Khan, Chair 

Noah Joshua Phillips 

Rebecca Kelly Slaughter 

Christine S. Wilson

Alvaro M. Bedoya 

In the Matter of

WEBER-STEPHEN PRODUCTS LLC, a limited 

liability company. 

DECISION AND ORDER 

DOCKET NO. C-4775

DECISION

The Federal Trade Commission (“Commission”) initiated an investigation of certain acts and 

practices of the Respondent named in the caption. The Commission’s Bureau of Consumer 

Protection (“BCP”) prepared and furnished to Respondent a draft Complaint. BCP proposed to 

present the draft Complaint to the Commission for its consideration. If issued by the 

Commission, the draft Complaint would charge Respondent with violations of the Federal Trade 

Commission Act and the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act. 

Respondent and BCP thereafter executed an Agreement Containing Consent Order (“Consent 

Agreement”). The Consent Agreement includes: 1) statements by Respondent that it neither 

admits nor denies the allegations in the Complaint, except as specifically stated in this Decision 

and Order, and that only for purposes of this action, it admits the facts necessary to establish 

jurisdiction; and 2) waivers and other provisions as required by the Commission’s Rules. 

The Commission considered the matter and determined that it had reason to believe that 

Respondent has violated the Federal Trade Commission Act and the Magnuson-Moss Warranty 

Act, and that a Complaint should issue stating its charges in that respect. The Commission 

accepted the executed Consent Agreement and placed it on the public record for a period of 30 

days for the receipt and consideration of public comments. The Commission duly considered 

any comments received from interested persons pursuant to Section 2.34 of its Rules, 16 C.F.R. § 

2.34. Now, in further conformity with the procedure prescribed in Rule 2.34, the Commission 

issues its Complaint, makes the following Findings, and issues the following Order:
2

Findings

1. Respondent is Weber-Stephen Products LLC, a limited liability company with its 

principal office or place of business at 1415 South Roselle Road, Palatine, Illinois, 

60067.

2. The Commission has jurisdiction over the subject matter of this proceeding and over

Respondent, and the proceeding is in the public interest.

ORDER

Definitions

For purposes of this Order, the following definitions apply:

A. “Clearly and Conspicuously” means that a required disclosure is difficult to miss (i.e., 

easily noticeable) and easily understandable by ordinary consumers, including in all of 

the following ways:

1. A visual disclosure, by its size, contrast, location, the length of time it appears, and 

other characteristics, must stand out from any accompanying text or other visual 

elements so that it is easily noticed, read, and understood.

2. An audible disclosure, including by streaming video, must be delivered in a volume, 

speed, and cadence sufficient for ordinary consumers to easily hear and understand it.

3. In any communication using an interactive electronic medium, such as the Internet or 

software, the disclosure must be unavoidable.

4. The disclosure must use diction and syntax understandable to ordinary consumers and

must appear in each language in which the triggering representation appears.

5. The disclosure must not be contradicted or mitigated by, or inconsistent with, 

anything else in the communication.

6. When the representation or sales practice targets a specific audience, such as children, 

the elderly, or the terminally ill, “ordinary consumers” includes reasonable members 

of that group.

B. “Consumer Products” means any tangible personal product which is distributed in 

commerce and which is normally used for personal, family, or household purposes 

(including any such property intended to be attached to or installed in any real property 

without regard to whether it is so attached or installed).
3

C. “Implied Warranty” means an implied warranty arising under State law (as modified by 

15 U.S.C. §§ 2308 and 2304(a)) in connection with the sale by a supplier of a consumer 

product.

D. “Respondent” means Weber-Stephen Products LLC and its successors and assigns.

E. “Supplier” means any person engaged in the business of making a Consumer 

Product directly or indirectly available to consumers.

F. “Warrantor” means any Supplier or other person who gives or offers to give a Written 

Warranty or who is or may be obligated under an Implied Warranty.

G. “Written Warranty” means—

(a) any written affirmation of fact or written promise made in connection with the 

sale of a consumer product by a Supplier to a buyer which relates to the nature of 

the material or workmanship and affirms or promises that such material or 

workmanship is defect free or will meet a specified level of performance over a 

specified period of time; or

(b) any undertaking in writing in connection with the sale by a Supplier of a 

Consumer Product to refund, repair, replace, or take other remedial action with 

respect to such product in the event that such product fails to meet the 

specifications set forth in the undertaking, which written affirmation, promise, or 

undertaking becomes part of the basis of the bargain between a Supplier and a 

buyer for purposes other than resale of such product. 

Provisions

I. Prohibitions Concerning Written Warranties

IT IS ORDERED that Respondent, and Respondent’s officers, agents, employees, and 

attorneys, and all other persons in active concert or participation with any of them, who receive 

actual notice of this Order, whether acting directly or indirectly, are permanently restrained and 

enjoined from:

A. Expressly or by implication conditioning a warranty for a Consumer Product that costs 

more than five dollars, on a consumer’s using, in connection with such product, any 

article or service which is identified by brand, trade, or corporate name, unless the article 

or service is provided to the consumer without charge under the terms of the warranty or 

the Warrantor has been granted a waiver by the Commission under 15 U.S.C § 2303(c);

and

B. Violating any provision of the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act (15 U.S.C. §§ 2301-2312)

4

II. Prohibited Claims and Conduct

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Respondent, and Respondent’s officers, agents,

connection with the labeling, advertising, promotion, offering for sale, sale, or distribution of

Consumer Products cost more than five dollars shall not: 

1. Make any representation, or assist others in making any representation, expressly or by 

implication, except for representations regarding Consumer Products that are offered free 

of charge under the warranty or for which the Commission has provided a waiver under

a. A warranty will or may be void if a consumer uses unauthorized or third-party 

parts or services in connection with the Consumer Product; 

b. A warranty will or may be void if a consumer makes any modifications to the 

Consumer Product, without the Respondent’s authorization or approval; or 

c. As a condition of warranty coverage, or within the Written Warranty, that

2. Fail to disclose, Clearly and Conspicuously, in any warranty the following statement 

(“Required Disclosure”): “Using third-party parts will not void this warranty.”

warranty or the Respondent obtains a waiver from the Commission with respect to any 

product or service, the warranty may state that consumers must use that product or 

service to maintain the warranty. If so, the Required Disclosure shall Clearly and 

Conspicuously state as follows: “Except as described in ____, using third-party parts will 

not void this warranty;” and

ISSUED: September 14, 2022
ATTACHMENT A: CONSUMER NOTICE

Re: Special Notice: Update to your Weber Grill warranty, Replacement Parts Provision

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC), the nation’s consumer protection agency, and Weber 

have reached an agreement regarding one of our warranty provisions. The FTC claims that our 

prior replacement parts provision did not follow federal law when it said that you and other 

Weber owners must use genuine Weber parts to keep your warranty coverage.

To settle the matter, Weber has agreed to revise this provision.

You don’t have to use authorized Weber parts to maintain your warranty unless Weber gives

you the parts for free under the warranty. By law, Weber cannot void your warranty because 

you installed another company’s parts unless Weber gives you the parts for free. However, 

Weber is not obligated to pay for repairs of non-genuine Weber parts or repairs due to damage 

or defects caused by non-genuine Weber parts.

We recommend that you keep a copy of this notice and the revised replacement part provision 

in your files. You can find the revised provision at [insert easily typed url].

If you have questions, please visit [insert easily typed url].

Sincerely,

[Name of real person at company]
