Webinar: Is the legal guarantee the right tool to make products last longer?  - Right to Repair Europe

• “The assumption is that manufacturers would improve the durability of their products to avoid incurring losses.” ⤴️
• “Longer guarantees could also cause rebound effects in consumer behaviour, and by increasing the control of manufacturers over the repair ecosystem, they could negatively affect independent repairers.” ⤴️
• “the legal guarantee only deals with faults that can in some way be considered as a manufacturing defect. While this can include a product’s insufficient durability (which is far from easy to evaluate given the variation in the way products may be used), it excludes any damage related to mishaps” ⤴️
