Implied warranty coverage can last as long as four years depending on state-to-state laws. However, your right to file a lawsuit for consumer fraud has a deadline as well. In Ohio, for example, there is a four-year time limit to bring fraud cases, but only a one-year window for personal injuries resulting from fraud.
Warranties are guarantees offered by companies and business proprietors. They can be written, spoken, or implied, and are essentially contracts that are under obligation to be honored. Those guarantees may include a right to repair, replace, or return an item if it is defective, or a refund for services that were unsatisfactory.
That being said, warranties often come with fine print, loopholes, and expiration dates. If you discover you have been defrauded or injured due to deceptive marketing, contact a consumer fraud lawyer at The Lyon Firm today who can help you review your rights under the warranty.
