JB Hi-Fi's facing a lawsuit over allegedly contravening Australian Consumer Law -- but what are your rights as a consumer anyway?
The lawsuit alleges JB Hi-Fi ripped off consumers by selling worthless extended warranties since 2011.
JB Hi-Fi has been accused of selling extended warranties to customers which offer benefits they already receive for free under the Australian Consumer Law.
The class action against the $5.4 billion electronics company is the third lawsuit against a major Australian retailer in the space of a week.
The class action, which alleges JB Hi-Fi's extended warranties were a "junk add-on" to customer purchases, covers a 12-year period.
