What Are Your Warranty Rights for Defective Products in Egypt?

Last updated 7/6/20260 viewsProvisional

Article 20 guarantees product quality throughout the warranty period, and Article 19 requires suppliers to report defects to the CPA within seven days.

Egyptian consumer law provides solid warranty protections for buyers. Under Article 20, the supplier is obligated to guarantee the quality and safety of a product throughout the entire warranty period and must ensure the product conforms to the specifications agreed upon at the time of purchase. If a product fails to meet those specifications during the warranty period, you are entitled to a remedy.

Additionally, Article 19 places a proactive duty on suppliers: if they discover or become aware of a defect in a product, they must notify the Consumer Protection Agency (CPA) within seven days. If the defect poses a risk to health or safety, the supplier has further obligations to act quickly, which may include recalls or replacements.

As a practical step, always ensure the warranty terms are clearly stated on your invoice or in your purchase contract (as required by Article 10 and Article 12). If a supplier refuses to honour a warranty claim, document everything in writing and submit a formal complaint to the CPA. Having your original invoice will significantly strengthen your case.
