On the heels of the nation’s largest grilling holiday, the Federal Trade Commission announced Thursday that it is sanctioning Weber for illegally voiding the warranties of grill owners who installed third-party products on their gas grills. 

This is the third punitive action against a major, beloved American company in the last several weeks from the FTC and indicates that the Biden government is serious about the right to repair, the concept of ownership, and consumer protection. Last month, the FTC took similar action against Harley Davidson and appliance manufacturer Westinghouse.
