WARREN INQUIRY
– Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren is probing major defense contractors over their opposition to ‘right to repair’ laws.
WHAT’S AT STAKE
– ‘Right to repair’ laws would allow consumers to repair their own devices or go to a third-party service, rather than being required to use the manufacturer’s authorized repair services.
– Warren reportedly sent letters to defense groups including Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, and Boeing, inquiring about their stance on these laws.
CONTEXT
– This comes after the US Federal Trade Commission released a report last month supporting ‘right to repair’ rules, stating that manufacturer-imposed repair restrictions are detrimental to small businesses and consumers.
