> 42488.2. (a) Notwithstanding any other law, every manufacturer of an electronic or appliance product with a wholesale price to the retailer, or to others outside of direct retail sale
This only affects manufacturers who sell wholesale. Is this intended as a proxy for a manufacturer's ability to comply with this law? It seems that any large manufacturer who wishes to not comply simply has to stop using wholesale prices, though I'm not sure how feasible that is.
- HeyLaughingBoy 3y agoI think the rationale behind this statement is that it doesn't apply to small specialty manufacturers. e.g., small manufacturers that sell direct to their customer are exempt. I build custom electronics (not consumer items), mostly with very small unit volumes. e.g., I just shipped 10 units of a device that monitors a controller and sends a message to an Android app when it turns on or off. The entire lifespan of this product will probably be under 100 units. Making someone like me have to comply with laws like this would probably be enough to rethink the whole thing.
