In Brazil, long-duration guarantees are heavily regulated by the Consumer Protection Code (Código de Defesa do Consumidor), which mandates specific warranty periods for different product categories. Manufacturers often emphasize long-duration guarantees as a mark of quality and consumer trust. In the USA, extended warranties on electronics and appliances are commonly marketed as 'peace of mind' products, often sold separately from the original purchase.
