Article Abstract:
Product warranties are issued by companies as a means of minimizing the negative emotional impact expressed by consumers as a result of product breakdowns. Survey results unveiled that consumers tend to exhibit extreme anxiety and vexation when a product wears out beyond the limits of the warranty coverage. On the other hand, product breakdowns that occur within or prior the warranty coverage tend to induce positive emotional response among consumers.
