Pennsylvania lemon law is not necessarily the same as Texas lemon law. The lemon laws for each state vary, although the basic premise is that consumers can obtain legal assistance if they have recently purchased a new product that fails. This “product” can be a new car, sometimes a used car, a truck, an SUV, a boat, a motorcycle, a puppy, a dishwasher, a stove, a refrigerator, a computer or a motorized scooter. Essentially, any product that costs more than $25 and comes with a warranty may be subject to the lemon laws. If your product breaks down more than four times, then consider filing a complaint with the Better Business Bureau or hiring lemon law lawyers to help you through the process.

Additionally, there are lemon laws for computers in some states. According to Ed Foster from www.infoworld.com, the lemon law for computers is a bit more convoluted, since there can be software defects and hardware defects — and both vendors are quick to point the blame. Often times a person is bounced back and forth between the two customer service centers to find little reprieve. However, many manufacturers have enacted their own responsible warranty laws. Typically, if the same part has broken down four times or more during the warranty period, you’re entitled to a replacement item.

Did you know that there are lemon laws for motorized scooters and disability products? The devices that may be covered include wheelchairs, reachers, motorized scooters, walking products, stander assists, therapeutic seats, canes, walkers, crutches, hearing aids, eyeglasses, bath seats and certain computer products. Three states — California, Florid and Wisconsin — have enacted specific local laws that mention “assistive devices/products.” Kansas, Maine, Montana, North Dakota, Oregon and Wyoming feel that these devices are covered in consumer protection laws, although they’re not explicitly named. Illinois, Nevada and Washington are writing more specific legislation currently. Hawaii, Oregon and Minnesota are curious about what other states are doing so they can follow up. The best laws protecting consumers are in California and Wisconsin, according to www.disabled-world.com.
