Wisconsin Computer Lemon Laws
Only a few states have specific computer lemon laws, however the national lemon law (Magnuson Moss Warranty Act) covers almost all consumer products, including computers purchased in Wisconsin, as long as the product costs more than $25 and it is intended primarily for consumer-type use. This applies so long as you bought the computer new and it came with a written warranty. Though not specifically a WI. computer lemon law, this law does protect consumers who have purchased computers in Wisconsin.
Other laws cover computers in some states. The Uniform Commercial Code, though not specifically a Wisconsin computer lemon law, governs sales in 49 states, and contains an implied warranty of merchantability, requiring that goods like computers be reasonably fit and meet prevailing standards in the trade. Where an computer is seriously defective, a claim may be made unless the computer was sold As-Is. To inquire as to specific state of WI computer lemon law, please consult a lemon law attorney for the sate of Wisconsin, or a related consumer lawyer.
