Your Rights As A Consumer

As the purchasers of any consumer product in the State of California, consumers have rights that are protected by law. The Law Offices of Charles A. Pernice has en extended history of ensuring that Californian consumers’ rights are protected. If you feel you have been “ripped off” by an unscrupulous dealer or manufacturer, it is crucial to contact an experienced attorney so that you can get the compensation you deserve.

Every seller makes a promise that goods sold are of good quality and will perform in the way they were intended or advertised. This promise, whether express or implicit, is made every time an individual purchases a product from a merchant for family or household purposes. This promise is a warranty, a contract that is enforceable under state and federal law. Warranties guarantee that products sold are of the same quality as all others sold to the public. Where products do not meet this standard, the manufacturer and/or the dealer is generally required to repair the goods, replace the goods, or refund the purchase price. A refund is the typical result where a product cannot be repaired after a reasonable number of attempts.

These general rules apply to a wide variety of purchases big and small. Where small items like a radio prove to be defective and incapable of repair, or when expensive products like a boat or recreational vehicle are similarly defective, the purchasers of these products should be proactive. Consumers must allow the dealer or manufacturer an opportunity to fix the problem. However, where the repair proves inadequate after a reasonable number of attempts, the law may provide a remedy for the dissatisfied customer. Depending on the specific circumstances surrounding the case, a consumer may be entitled to a refund of the purchase price after an off set for mileage or use is deducted or a replacement of the item. In some situations, consumers may be entitled to other damages, including civil penalties and attorney fees.
