The California Lemon Law applies to all consumer goods as long as these goods are used primarily for personal, family or household purposes.   Consumer goods include, but are not limited to, boats, the livable portion of a motor home/RV, pianos, telephones, toasters, refrigerators, televisions, coffee makers, all appliances, etc.

In order to have a valid California Lemon Law claim, the following basic elements must be met.  (1) The consumer good must be covered by a warranty.  (2) The consumer good must have a warranty problem.  (3) The warranty problem must be subject to a reasonable number of repair attempts (usually four repair attempts of the same problem). 

If the above-elements are met, the consumer good may be a lemon pursuant to the California Lemon Law.  As such, the buyer may be entitled to a replacement consumer good or a refund of the purchase price.
