FTC Gives Manufacturers 30 Days to Remove Warranty Void Stickers

Seriously?

They did it to keep people from frying themselves on PSUs etc.

This actually has more to do with desktops, laptops, consoles, etc. and allowing users to open them up to replace RAM, HDD, etc. and not so much opening a PSU to replace a fuse or fan.

If the FTC thinks it should apply to ALL warranty void labels (and I don't think they do) they're mistaken as that creates a tremendous Catch-22. If someone opens up a PSU because they think "it's ok to do so" and kill themselves with a shock from the bulk caps, the family probably will sue the manufacturer.

I think the line is drawn where there's products that are actually user serviceable (i.e. a PC, laptop, etc.) and those that aren't (at least by your average consumer).
