Product Warranty Dispute Resolution

Summary

If a product from Lowes is defective and the manufacturer refuses to honor the warranty, you can sue either the retailer or the manufacturer. In Oklahoma, you may file a claim in small claims court if the amount is within the courts limits. Ensure the Oklahoma court has jurisdiction over the manufacturer, especially if they are located in another state like Florida. Consulting a local attorney can help navigate interstate legal procedures and confirm jurisdiction. Attempting resolution through Lowes customer service before legal action is advisable.
