Consumer Rights News: The Spill on What's Brewing in Consumer Law
🟡 🍋 Sour Pour of the Month: California's Lemon Law Gets a Squeeze
Starting in 2025, updates to California’s Lemon Law will significantly impact consumers, particularly those purchasing used vehicles, as consumer law updates are set to narrow the coverage for warranties on these cars. The timelines for filing claims are also tightening, making it increasingly important for buyers to be aware of their rights.
Bottom line: If your ride has spent more time in the shop than in your driveway, don’t delay in making a claim. The clock is ticking faster than it used to under the California Lemon Law.
📵 📞 TCPA Gets Spicier: SCOTUS Rewrites the Robocall Recipe
The Supreme Court recently ruled that district courts don’t have to blindly follow FCC rulings when interpreting the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA). This decision means that the rules surrounding robocalls and text spam just became more complex—and potentially more protective for consumers. In light of recent consumer law updates, courts may now offer greater protection to individuals where the FCC has previously fallen short. Translation: That 'free cruise' call might end up costing them more than just your time.
