QUESTION FOUR - CONSUMER PROTECTION Pat is a keen gardener who owns a property with a large section on which are extensive plantings of trees and shrubs. both native and exotic (not from New Zealand). Cutting back and pruning of the trees and shrubs is a major exercise as is the disposal of branches and other garden waste produced by the pruning. Pat sees an advertisement for a petrol driven shredder (similar to the one pictured)1 NZ Made shredder Petrol driven 7 hp Turns 85mm branches into woodchips in seconds. Tested for safety $999 Note The Consumer Guarantees Act does not apply to this product. Devious Tools Ltd Pat is impressed and purchases the item which is delivered within the promised three working days. Unfortunately, when Pat starts to use it problems arise. The size of the aperture into which the branches are fed will only take items less than 60mm in diameter. When Pat attempts to shred a 75mm branch, itjams in the cutters and is ejected from the aperture with such force that Pat suffers a broken arm. The motor also stops with a loud clunk and a piece of metal hits the inside of the engine cover denting it. Pat is not a happy gardener and on investigating matters further Pat learns the following: The machine was assembled in New Zealand from recycled parts imported from We, a country infamous for producing pirated products of all kinds. It was safety tested in Australia but comprehensively failed the safety tests and its sale in Australia was banned. Pat also learns that the product has been purchased by other home owners who have all been disappointed and have attempted to return the item to Devious Tools. Reguired: Provide a reasoned explanation to Pat outlining: > where Devious Tools Ltd. as the supplier, has breached the Fair Trading Act 1986 and > whether the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 applies and > if so. how the product fails to comply with any guarantee under that Act and > the remedies available to Pat under either Act. 1 Note the defects and issues with the product problem do not refer to the shredder in the picture which is simply provided by way of clarication of the term \"shredder."
