Here is an interesting item of news straight from Disabled World that involves the well known Lemon Law in the United States.  Lemon Laws are so named because of the sour pucker one gets from biting into a lemon (the fruit) or meeting a ‘lemon’ (a jerky person), the embodied equivalent  to the jolting  taste left in your mouth; one that follows from being on the receiving end of a bitter deal.

The Lemon Law is designed to protect the public from unscrupulous dealers and /or plain bad luck, and covers motorized vehicles that undergo problem after problem, or suffer continuous repetition of the same problem. Actual Lemon Laws can vary from state to state, but the basic premise remains constant: if a person purchases a car, truck, SUV, RV, or other motorized vehicle that proves to be a dud, it can be exchanged or perhaps returned for full refund. Yay!

If the Lemon Law was not practical and positive enough, according to an article in Disabled World entitled Lemon Laws for Motor Vehicles and Disability Products, US lemon laws can also cover motorized wheelchairs, scooters and other motorized equipment designed to serve the disabled. So if you have recently purchased a motorised vehicle or device and believe you may have a ‘lemonesque’ piece of machinery on your hands, it may be a good (and refreshing) idea to check the parameters of the Lemon Laws in your state. Depending on where you live, you will likely find you have some form of protection. This may be true even if you have purchased used disability equipment.
