There is a law like that in most European countries afaik. In the UK it was called (back when I did business law 20 years ago) "fit for purpose" which was a vague description of 1. if it's a tumble dryer it should dry clothes without ruining them 2. it should last as long as a tumble dryer is expected to last (really up to whatever argument you can make in court should it get that far). Of course the UK law might have changed a lot since I was a young whippersnapper.
