German environmental group stops misleading Huawei battery repair ad

The Deutsche Umwelthilfe has successfully issued a cease-and-desist warning against Huawei over advertising for its Mate X7. The Chinese manufacturer had falsely claimed the smartphone battery was easy for users to replace themselves, but the German environmental organisation says this misleading repairability claim was not accurate. The case adds to growing scrutiny of repair claims made for consumer electronics in Germany.
Why now: A consumer protection victory over a major smartphone maker's repairability claims is drawing attention amid rising interest in device repair rights.
