Obviously, it should be the manufacturer. You know, the people that made the product??

- gambiting 6y agoUhm, no? Obviously, as a consumer, I couldn't care less about who is the manufacturer - I have no business relationship with them. The person who sold me the item is responsible for it because they are the ones I entered into a purchase contract with. That's how it works in all of EU already - the seller is responsible for sold items, because....it just makes more sense?
- Ekaros 6y agoAnd if seller fails, the official importer is often responsible. Ofc, in some cases contacting manufacturer directly is a decent option.
- marcrosoft 6y agoOk, and if you sell or even give away your used item to me and I deem it harms me in some way? When does the litigation pain chain stop?
- gambiting 6y agoThe legislation treats used items differently. Unless the seller purposefully hid something from you then you accept used items as-is with no further responsibility accepted by the seller. So the chain ends on the first sale on a new item. There are exceptions to this for certain items(say cars). But if you buy a second hand phone and it explodes a month later then whoever sold you the item is not responsible.
