			==Consumer impact summary==

	===~~Use of "warranty void if removed" stickers~~===		==Incidents==
	In recent years, the issue of "warranty void if removed" stickers has gained significant attention, particularly regarding their legality and impact on consumer rights. These stickers, commonly found on electronic devices and appliances, are intended to prevent consumers from tampering with products, often in relation to repairs or modifications. However, their use has raised concerns about whether they unfairly limit consumer rights and circumvent warranties.

	~~Under U.S. consumer protection law~~, ~~particularly the Magnuson~~-~~Moss Warranty Act, manufacturers are prohibited~~ from ~~voiding warranties solely due~~ to ~~the removal~~ of ~~labels, including~~ "warranty void if removed" stickers. This ~~rule aims~~ to ~~ensure that~~ consumers ~~have~~ the ~~right to repair or modify products without fear of losing~~ warranty ~~coverage. Despite this~~, ~~many manufacturers continue~~ to ~~use such stickers, and some place them over screws or other components necessary for standard use, leading to potential issues with~~ warranty ~~claims~~.		=== Dark Matter 27-inch monitor, "warranty void if removed" stickers ===
