In Brazil, statutory warranties are governed by the Consumer Protection Code (Código de Defesa do Consumidor).

This is a fundamental consumer right in both Brazil and Portugal, reflecting strong consumer protection traditions in Lusophone countries and aligning with international consumer protection standards.
