EU smartphone repair disclosure rule still falling short after 1 year, study finds
More than 8 in 10 smartphones sold in the European Union fail to properly comply with rules requiring disclosure of repair procedures and replacement parts information, a study found. Right to Repair Europe said 82 percent of 2,334 models lacked necessary repair information. Only 18 percent provided links enabling consumers to immediately check repair steps and parts prices. The group also cited weak oversight that allows blank fields and broken links to pass.
