Legal Question in Consumer Law in Connecticut

Maguson-Moss Act

What is the name of your state? Connecticut.

I purchased an all in one headboard footboard with wooden frame. I purchased the item on January 10th 2007, and only had it for about 2 months when it started to break on me. I'm not abusing the unit at all and I believe that the unit is of poor craftmanship. I tried to call the vendor about exchanging or replacing the item but they told me there was no warranty. The discount furniture store didn't have any warranty information posted in the store, in their weekly flyer or in the invoice.. the invoice states ''No Refunds/Exchange Only''. Would I be covered under the Maguson-Moss Act for breach of warranty? Isn't this considered an expressed and unilateral contract? What would be my best course of action? Taking them to small claims court for the amount of the bed and filing suit for punative damages?

Re: Maguson-Moss Act

You may very well have an express warranty claim, and, at a minimum, would have a breach of implied warranty action based upon the implied warranty of merchantability. I advise that you consult personally with an attorney to best chart out a course of action for your claim.
