Assistive Device Lemon Law

Kentucky has a special "Lemon Law" to protect consumers who buy or lease "assistive devices," such as handicap-equipped motor vehicles, wheelchairs, scooters, talking computers - basically anything used to make a major life activity easier.

It requires the manufacturer to give a one year warranty, covering the full cost of any repair or replacement that becomes necessary. Your only obligation is to return the item to the seller or the manufacturer and tell them what is wrong. They must either fix it or replace it.

If they decide to repair it, then they have to give you a free "loaner" while they are working on the device, if the repair takes more than 10 days or if you return it for repair of the same problem more than twice.

However, they only get two chances to get the same problem fixed and the device can be out of service (in the repair shop) a maximum of 30 days. If not, then you get to choose between making them buy it back or getting a new device, minus a reasonable allowance for your use of it.
