Apple Sued By Belgian Consumer Association For Not Applying EU Warranty Laws

Posted by Unknown on Monday March 19, 2012 @04:08PM from the regulation-is-only-ok-if-it-benefits-us dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Following the recent Italian case, Apple is now being sued by the Belgian consumer association 'Test-Achats' (french/dutch website) for not applying the EU consumer protection laws by only giving a one-year warranty on its products. At the same time, Apple is not only refusing to give the mandatory two-year warranty but is also selling the additional year of warranty with its Applecare products. If the consumer association wins its case, Apple could be forced to refund Applecare contracts to its Belgian customers while providing the additional year of warranty for free."

Customers are willing to pay their own kidneys for apple products. Maybe they'll toss in an extra spleen too.
If Apple thought that their customers would pay an extra spleen don't you think they'd be charging it already?
