Amazon sent me a USED controller. Why would they do that? Because - obviously - the original purchaser (or purchasers, as the case may be) found a defect, and now they hope to pawn it off on me. Obviously, Amazon is part of the 1% that could give a flying flip about what the FTC regards as NEW when an item is advertised as NEW.
From the FTC website:
When can a company advertise a product as "new"?
The answer depends on how the ad uses the word "new." For example, under the rules governing the identification of textiles, fabric cannot be advertised as "new" if it has been reclaimed or respun. The rules governing advertising claims for tires prohibit the use of the word "new" to describe retreads. However, when no specific regulation applies, each case must be considered within the context of the ad. At least one FTC advisory opinion has suggested a six-month limit on the use of the word when advertising the introduction of a "new" product not previously on the market.
****
When you take an item that has been returned by a customer and resell it, that is the item being 'reclaimed'.
Amazon lies - that's all there is to it. If you buy from Amazon, be SURE to specify UNOPENED in your shipping instructions (not that I think that Amazon will care what you write there, but at least you'll have legal recourse).
