They all say that and have enacted their rules (not laws) because people abused their return policies, ie: they used mics for the 30 day return period and returned them.
It's a shame they had to be pushed into it, but I do understand.
Some people ruin everything for everyone.
Any store, even those who have this rule, will work with you if they know you and know you're a serious buyer.
What if you just want the mic to record acoustic guitar, where's the health risk?
There is no way to prove a mic has been at your mouth. Besides, who uses a good mic without a pop-screen (at least condensers)?
It's all rules enacted to stop a-holes from abusing return policies.
As for the law - ask where you can find the law.
If there is one, it must be published and available online.
Let's see it.
Still, even if there is one, like I said, all you have to do is say the mic is not going to be used for vocals.........and you promise not to stick it in your ear.

GC tried pulling this "law" bullshit with me last month. I asked them how the health department manages to sterilize payphones after every use. They looked at me like I was a moron but I felt like it was a valid point. IMO this "law" is more about what madguitrst is talking about. My whole point is after a little bit of hasseling I got them to agree to a return if I didn't like the mic.

yeah it really is a BS law, the big companies pushed for it so they could have some pull over their customers. of course they will give in a lil, but they want to have some control with a law backing.

There is no such law. Just because someone mentions it on a website or on a showroom floor does NOT mean that it actually exists. It's a blatant lie used by certain vendors to keep people from buying mics, using them briefly, then returning them. Admittedly, people shouldn't do that, but there's no reason (health or legal) to prevent the retailer from accepting the return.
If they'd simply say that it's their policy not to accept microphone returns, that would be fine. But this nonsense of blaming it on "health law" is just plain bullshit.

i doubt a major corporation is 'lying' about a law..
especially since the law also pertains to my store. it is there. its not made up.

You ever see how a live rock vocalist uses a mic? Since we're reasonably certain the big-box vendors are used as free rentals by some, would you want to shop where mics are returnable? I can catch hepatitus without Guitar Center's help.

Is about the most goddamned stupid comment ever posted on this BBS.
Oh, I see your 16. I've got one of those around here too.

Well then. Let's all bow down to the ZZ Sounds god for it has layeth down the LAW!!!
There are numerous dealers of microphones that offer a return policy. Maybe you should shop with them instead.

Welcome to the jungle.
That is not a law. It does not exist!
I think the music stores should just tell the truth:
That they will not allow returns due to abuse of the return system.

If it really were a law then how could anyone even test a mic. Do the pro audio shops spray them down with lysol before every use? I doubt it. What about studios? Do I need to get a new mic for every artist that comes thru the door? Do I need to open them from their sealed sterile packs in front of the customers before useing? Do nightclubs have to get new mics for every band? Do you see how this doesn't make much sense? Oh and I almost forgot, what about places that rent mics? Are they breaking the law everytime a mic leaves their store?

Company rule, law, what's the difference? What's the company going to do with a returned mic? Sell it to some dumbfuck?
