How long are manufacturers required to support with cartridges?
"Arthur Entlich" wrote in message
news:46Wqi.15023$rX4.9695@pd7urf2no... Some countries have such legislation, some do not. It is advantageous to companies to continue to produce cartridges as long as the demand is high enough to be profitable. And in some cases long beyond when a cartridge remains profitable based only on its sales. Good will is also a factor. I know of cases where cartridges were still manufactured when volumes reached a point where a month's demand would fit in the trunk of my small car :-).

: I suspect that this 7-year law has fallen by the wayside. As far as I know, replacement batteries are not available for Panasonic shavers, such as the one that I paid around $100 for. I don't see any offered for sale, and it's conspicuously missing from my owner's manual. In the case of a personal cassette player/FM radio (also, not a cheap throw-away, or so I thought) that I wanted to have my technician modify in order to remove a manufactured-in hum from an otherwise perfectly good, I asked for a schemetic diagram. Panasonic replied that there was no service literature for the product because "...it is un-repairable." Yeah, right. Richard Service parts are a different thing than consumables. |
