Indiana Appliance Lemon Laws
Only a few states have specific appliance lemon laws, however the national lemon law (Magnuson Moss Warranty Act) covers almost all consumer products, including appliances purchased in Indiana, as long as the product costs more than $25 and it is intended primarily for consumer-type use. This applies so long as you bought the appliance new and it came with a written warranty. Though not specifically a Indiana appliance lemon law, this law does protect consumers who have purchased appliances in Indiana.
Other laws cover appliances in some states. The Uniform Commercial Code, though not specifically a Indiana appliance lemon law, governs sales in 49 states, and contains an implied warranty of merchantability, requiring that goods like appliances be reasonably fit and meet prevailing standards in the trade. Where an appliance is seriously defective, a claim may be made unless the appliance was sold As-Is. To inquire as to specific state of Indiana appliance lemon law, please consult a lemon law attorney for the sate of Indiana, or a related consumer lawyer.
