The FTC has been growing some teeth again, and needs to stay vigilant.

- lizard 2y agoIs this even new for "lifetime"? A "lifetime warranty" often refers to the "lifetime" of the product, not your lifetime or the expected lifetime of any person. In that sense, T-Mobile has played this pretty straight. Customers got a price lock for the lifetime of the offer. Just on a quick read, it looks like a "lifetime warranty" must actually define a length of time though. Which for a product you can, at least claim to, stress test or base on the weakest component.
