So, if something breaks, it’s your right to choose to repair it, whether you attempt it yourself or call in an expert. International developments have centred around legislation to make spare parts and repair information available. Ryobi states on its website: “We do not have any repair facilities and cannot repair any products.”As I found when I returned a blender with an easily repairable broken blade to Kmart. Parker’s desire to review the Waste Minimisation Act is welcome, though governmental processes take forever so our own right to repair legislation is likely to be some way off. Along with new Right To Repair legislation, we think the 1993 Consumer Guarantees Act should be brought up to date.
