Law No. 6502 on Consumer Protection<\/a> Within this scope, defective goods are defined as goods that, at the time of delivery to the consumer, are inconsistent with the contract because they do not conform to the sample or model agreed upon by the parties, or because they do not possess the characteristics they should objectively have. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Law No. 6502 TKHK <\/a>Under the Consumer Protection Law, goods that do not possess one or more of the characteristics stated on their packaging, label, instruction manual, internet portal, or in advertisements and announcements; that are contrary to the quality declared by the seller or determined in the technical regulation; that do not meet the intended purpose of comparable goods; or that contain material, legal, or economic deficiencies that reduce or eliminate the benefits that the consumer can reasonably expect are also considered defective.Article 8<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
