(314) 500-HURTIt’s the end of the holiday shopping season and hopefully so too is over-consumerism. When we do purchase expensive
things, the cashier often asks us to buy an extended warranty. If a company makes and sells something, shouldn’t it last
longer than a year? Does this really decrease and limit the warranty you already have? YES to both.
Missouri (and Illinois and most states) law already provides a 4 year warranty for goods sold in stores. All goods have
to be merchantable, which is implied in any contract for their sale (R.S.Mo. §400-002.314). This means that products
must be of fair, average or better quality, must be fit for how they are typically used, and must conform to the
promises made on their container or label. If the seller violates this you can have up to four years to sue the seller
for breaching this implied warranty of merchantability.
So, if someone tries to sell you an extended warranty of less than 4 years, don’t buy it cause it doesn’t extend
anything. Your rights are already be protected under your state’s laws and the Uniform Commercial Code for up to four
years. If you are considering it to make things easier, make sure you read what the warranty covers. Here are some dos
and don’ts:
