In Australia our consumer protection laws have minimum warranty for most items (eg 3yrs or something for basic electronic products) but it scales with cost and quality.
It does not apply to everything as far as i know, but say you buy a $8,000 TV, you would likely get 5-6 years warranty because a TV of that cost should imply, to a reasonable consumer, it is of a quality that would be expected to last 5-6 years.
You guys get free health care and you can return stuff? Also, don’t you have a guaranteed warranty of 3 or 4 years?

Two, but I don’t think it applies to medical procedures

War-ranty? What is this? A guarantee of war? Sounds like apple pie to me. 🇺🇸

Five years, actually, here in Norway. Technically two years, and five if the product is meant to last appreciably longer than two years. But that is true for most things except wearable electronics like earbuds.

I think they call it developing countries now. I know Mexico has free healthcare, who else are you talking about?
