You may have heard the term "Lemon Law" and pondered the meaning of it, as most people do when they first hear it. Essentially, Lemon Laws were created for the consumer to protect them with regards to certain types of consumer transactions. More specifically, the California Lemon Law and the Federal Lemon Law, which are also referred to as "the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act" allow for legal remedies to California consumers by providing compensation for defective cars, trucks, motorcycles, RV's, boats, and other consumer products, such as computers and appliances. Compensation due to victory in such cases can be in the form of a refund, replacing the defective item, or receiving an award of cash. Typically, in order to meet the criteria either under the California Lemon Law or the Federal Lemon Law, the California consumer must have attempted to repair the defective product several times under the manufacturer's factory warranty without any success.
