If you buy a toaster from Europe, modify it to try and heat your entire house with it, then try to make a warranty claim that it caught fire... sure you could try to sue them in US courts and get a foreign judgement. The much more likely outcome is your case gets dismissed and the judge has a good laugh.
CBP will only get involved if the product is illegal or dangerous.
- R0b0t1 5y agoCompletely disingenuous example. There is usually a warranty for a specific purpose -- you were sold the item to fulfill a specific need. Any modifications done without disrupting that purpose are warranted and can not be used as a reason to reject a claim. The solution is to not offer a warranty, though some states do not allow you to disclaim suitability for a particular purpose and establish an implied warranty for items you sell.
