Factory defects are heavily regulated by consumer protection laws in both the USA and Brazil. In Brazil, PROCON (Fundação de Proteção e Defesa do Consumidor) enforces consumer rights regarding factory defects. American consumers often invoke 'lemon laws' for severely defective products, while Brazilian consumers have similar protections under the Código de Defesa do Consumidor (Consumer Protection Code).
