Ghery, You are right about Article 10.
However Article 11 provides ...'that the rights conferred upon the injured person pursuant to this Directive shall be extinguished upon the expiry of a period of 10 years from the date on which the producer put into circulation the actual product which caused the damage, unless the injured person has in the meantime instituted proceedings against the producer.' David Sterner From: Pettit, Ghery [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, May 13, 2003 6:16 PM To: 'Carpentier Kristiaan'; 'Gerald Tammi'; 'emc-pstc' Subject: RE: CE directive All, As I read this document, I don't come up with the concept of a 3 year warrantee on the product. What I see is that the plaintiff (the person injured by the product) has 3 years from the time they figure out whose product it was that injured them to make their claim for damages. This isn't a 3 year warrantee that the product works, or you will fix it. This is a 3 year statute of limitations (as we would say in the US) during which time the person injured by the product must make a claim for compensation. A slightly different situation than - I bought my stereo 2 years ago and it's broken. Please fix it. Or am I missing something here?
