<h1>Manufacturer's 98% Accuracy Claim for Optical PET Sorting Raises Regulatory, Liability, IP, Supply-Chain and Contract Risks</h1> A technology manufacturer announced a new optical sorting system claiming over 98% accuracy for identifying barrier and fluorescent PET bottles, with global commercial availability and regional service centers. Legal considerations include potential regulatory compliance for electronic and recycling equipment across jurisdictions, product liability and warranty exposure if performance claims prove inaccurate, marketing and consumer-protection scrutiny over asserted accuracy rates, supply-chain and export-control obligations, and intellectual-property rights around claimed proprietary sensor fusion. Customers and distributors should seek contract terms clarifying performance metrics, remedies, maintenance obligations, and jurisdiction/governing law for disputes.
