A. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, in addition to any express
warranty furnished by the manufacturer of an assistive device, such manufacturer
shall also be deemed to have warranted to any consumer purchasing or leasing
such device within this Commonwealth, that for a period of one year from date of
first delivery to the consumer (i) the device, when used as intended, will be
free from any nonconformity and (ii) any nonconformity will be repaired (parts
and labor) by the manufacturer or its agent, without charge to the consumer.

B. If, after reasonable attempt to repair, any nonconformity is not repaired,
the manufacturer shall either:

   1. Accept return of the nonconforming assistive technology device and refund
   to the consumer or consumers, to the extent of each consumer&#8217;s
   participation in the initial purchase or lease of the device or collateral
   costs, within fourteen days thereof, (i) the manufacturer&#8217;s suggested
   retail price, if available, (ii) the full purchase price of the device,
   excluding the cost of services associated with the device&#8217;s initial
   purchase, together with reasonable collateral costs, or (iii) if the device
   was leased, all lease payments made through the date of return together with a
   proportional share of any required deposit; or

   2. Accept return of the nonconforming assistive technology device and replace
   such nonconforming device with one of comparable market value, function and
   usefulness within thirty days of such request.
