EU Parliament approves rules requiring companies to repair worn-out products
The European Parliament approved rules on Tuesday to give consumers the right to have worn-out products like washing machines and smartphones repaired by producers, to cut waste and make goods last longer. The European Union policy would oblige manufacturers to offer repairs for fridges, vacuum cleaners, televisions, washing machines and other goods that are deemed "repairable" under EU law and sold within the bloc. Consumers will gain the right to choose either a repair - or a replacement - for faulty products while the product is still under guarantee.
