§  218-aa.  Warranty  disclosure. 1. As used in this section, the term   "grey  markets  merchandise"  means  any  brand-name  consumer   product   normally accompanied by a warranty valid in the United States of America   which is imported into the United States through channels other than the   manufacturer's  authorized  United  States  distributor, for sale to the   public  in  this  state,  and  which,  by  reason  of  this  manner   of   distribution, may not be accompanied by a manufacturer's express written   warranty  valid in the United States.  Grey markets merchandise shall be   limited to products purchased  by  a  consumer  for  use  primarily  for   personal, family or household purposes.2.  Every  retail  dealer  who  knowingly offers for sale grey markets   merchandise shall conspicuously  post,  in  the  following  manner,  the   information required by subdivision three of this section:a. On a sign attached to the item itself; orb.  On  a sign affixed to each cash register or point of sale at which   such goods are offered for sale; orc. On a sign so situated as to be clearly visible to  the  buyer  from   the register.3.  Every  retail  dealer who offers for sale grey markets merchandise   shall disclose, as applicable, that either some of  the  products  or  a   specific product are not:a.  accompanied  by  the  manufacturer's  warranty valid in the United   States; orb. accompanied by instructions in English; orc. eligible for a rebate offered by the manufacturer.4. Every retail dealer or dealer engaged in a mail-order business  who   offers  for  sale  grey markets merchandise shall include the disclosure   required  by  subdivision  three  of  this  section   in   any   written   advertisement relating to such product. Such disclosure shall be made in   type of a conspicuous size.5.  Any retail dealer who violates any provision of this section shall   be liable, for a period of up to twenty days from the date of  purchase,   to  the  buyer  for a refund or credit on credit-card purchases provided   the product purchased has not been used or damaged by the buyer.6. Whenever there shall be a violation of this section an  application   may  be  made  by  the attorney general in the name of the people of the   state of New York to a court or justice having jurisdiction by a special   proceeding to issue an injunction, and upon notice to the  defendant  of   not  less than five days, to enjoin and restrain the continuance of such   violations; and if it shall appear to the satisfaction of the  court  or   justice  that  the  defendant  has,  in  fact, violated this section, an   injunction may be  issued  by  such  court  or  justice,  enjoining  and   restraining  any  further  violation,  without  requiring proof that any   person has, in fact, been  injured  or  damaged  thereby.  In  any  such   proceeding,  the  court  may  make allowances to the attorney general as   provided in paragraph six of subdivision  (a)  of  section  eighty-three   hundred   three  of  the  civil  practice  law  and  rules,  and  direct   restitution. Whenever the court shall determine that a violation of this   section has occurred, the court may impose a civil penalty of  not  more   than  five  hundred  dollars  for each violation. In connection with any   such proposed application, the attorney general is  authorized  to  take   proof  and  make  a  determination  of  the  relevant facts and to issue   subpoenas in accordance with the civil practice law and rules.7. Provided, however, that it shall be an affirmative defense that the   consumer is provided with a  written  warranty  which  offers  equal  or   greater  protection than the manufacturer's warranty through a warrantor   demonstrated to be  a  financially  responsible  retailer,  distributor,    importer   or   other   third  person  capable  of  fulfilling  warranty   obligations.
