(d) Applicability to consumer products costing more than $10 and not designated as full warrantiesThe provisions of subsections (a) and (c) of this section apply only to warranties which pertain to consumer products actually costing the consumer more than $10 and which are not designated "full (statement of duration) warranties". |
