Recital 117

(117) To facilitate private enforcement of this Regulation, consumers who have suffered damage due to the non-compliance of a product with ecodesign requirements should have the right to claim compensation for that damage from the product’s manufacturer or, if the manufacturer is not established in the Union, the importer or the authorised representative of the manufacturer, or, if none of those economic operators is established in the Union, the fulfilment service provider. Such right to compensation should be without prejudice to other remedies available to consumers under Union law, such as the remedies against the seller in the event of a lack of conformity of the goods sold, in accordance with Directive (EU) 2019/771 of the European Parliament and of the Council (56). Furthermore, Member States should not be prevented from maintaining or introducing rights for consumers to other remedies in accordance with national law, such as the repair or replacement of products infringing ecodesign requirements.
