§2311 Applicability to other laws

Summary

Keeps other laws in force. It does not cancel or override the Federal Trade Commission Act or antitrust laws. It also does not cancel or apply to the Federal Seed Act or to seed meant for planting. It does not take away consumer rights under state law or other federal laws. Except for sections 2308 and 2304(a)(2) and (4), it does not change who is legally responsible for personal injuries or replace state rules about extra damages for injuries. Limits state warranty rules about labeling or disclosure when those rules fall under the same federal warranty requirements but are not identical. A State can ask the Commission to let a stronger state rule apply. If the Commission agrees that the state rule protects consumers more and does not unduly burden interstate commerce, that state rule will apply while the state enforces it. If federal law already controls the making or content of a written warranty, then that part is not covered here; any remaining parts are covered.
