Five years, actually, here in Norway. Technically two years, and five if the product is meant to last appreciably longer than two years. But that is true for most things except wearable electronics like earbuds.
Thanks for that comment, US is down to #21 on that list. I don’t see Mexico on the developed world list, so I guess they are developing but still have free health care.
In Australia our consumer protection laws have minimum warranty for most items (eg 3yrs or something for basic electronic products) but it scales with cost and quality.
It does not apply to everything as far as i know, but say you buy a $8,000 TV, you would likely get 5-6 years warranty because a TV of that cost should imply, to a reasonable consumer, it is of a quality that would be expected to last 5-6 years.
You guys get free health care and you can return stuff? Also, don’t you have a guaranteed warranty of 3 or 4 years?

I know you guys don’t live in utopia, but fuck, you have it better than us in a lot of ways.
Most 3rd world counties have it better than the US
I think they call it developing countries now. I don’t think Mexico is considered developing but has free healthcare, who else are you talking about?
First world = NATO
Second world = Warsaw Pact
Third world = non-aligned
Developed world = rich countries
Developing world = poor countries
Global south = also poor countries, but with more emphasis on Africa and South America

Two, but I don’t think it applies to medical procedures
War-ranty? What is this? A guarantee of war? Sounds like apple pie to me. 🇺🇸
