Amendments to Maryland's Pet Lemon Law?
Like many states, Maryland has a “Pet Lemon Law” that has been established to provide monetary recourse for the purchasers of “sick pets.”
Now a legislator, State Rep. Lawrence Cafero, wants to force pet sellers to cover veterinary expenses that consumers incur when they have to care for a sick animal, at up to twice the purchase price of the animal.
The law would apply to any disease or injury that existed at the time of sale, including hereditary or congenital problems.
The law also would require sellers of pets to advise purchasers of the obligation.
You can read more on the proposal here, in a report by David Funkhouser in the The Hartford Courant.
Another step in the protection of pets.
Increasing infringing actions by the State or a result of increased demand from pet owners?
