“When you buy something, you should have the right to repair it, whether that means taking it to the repair shop of your choice or fixing it yourself. Manufacturers of all kinds of things — smartphones, tractors, wheelchairs, and beyond — unfairly limit their customers’ repair options, making repair more expensive and difficult. The Right to Repair movement is a broad international effort to secure our repair options and prevent repair limitations.”
