Enacts the "connected consumer product end of life disclosure act"
What changed between versions
The definition of 'connected consumer product' was broadened to explicitly include mobile applications and cloud infrastructure related to the product's function.
Definitions for 'support', 'update', 'security update', and 'product update' were rewritten to clearly distinguish between updates that fix security vulnerabilities and those that fix functional flaws.
Disclosure requirements were expanded to mandate that support timelines be shown on the product web page, directly at the point of sale, and to retailers if direct consumer disclosure is not feasible.
The notification process for product 'end of life' was updated to require alerts through the device interface or application, in addition to email notifications.
The requirement for manufacturers to replace products at no cost to customers upon reaching end-of-life was removed from the text.
