In the state of Maine, implied warranties are designed to hold sellers and manufacturers liable for up to four years. This highlights a significant period of protection to which consumers are entitled upon purchasing a product and discovering its defects. In this case, consumers must pass the 3-Part Test, consisting of the following:

  • evidence that the product has deficiencies or works poorly;
  • evidence the buyer has not abused it; and
  • evidence the product was purchased four years ago, at most, or before then.
