FTC Orders Weber to Change Warranty Restricting Right to Repair

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) issued a complaint against Weber today for illegally restricting customers’ right to repair their grills. The complaint charges that terms in Weber’s warranty voided it if customers used third-party parts on their grills. Weber is being ordered to remove the illegal terms from its warranty and send and post notices informing customers of the updates.

If Weber violates those terms they are subject to penalties of up to $46,517 per violation in federal court.
