Makro doesn`t care about consumers !

<p>We bought an electric blanket from Makro Bedworth Park, Vanderbijlpark on the 16th May 2017.</p> <p>Last night only the right hand side worked, the left side is just dead.</p> <p>We went to Makro but was told that it willbe sent back to the supplier to evaluate and/or repair and it will take about 6 weeks.</p> <p>If that blanket doesn`t even last 3 months , we don`t want it repaired, we don`t even want that brand !</p> <p>We wanted to exchange it for a different make. </p> <p>We are retired and to be without the electric blanket is a disaster for us. Is there nothing that can be done ? It`s not our fault that the blanket stopped working. Seems like they are protecting the supplier and don`t care about the consumer. The bottom line is, we bought the blanket , the blanket doesn`t work and we want to exchange it for another one....what rights do we have???</p>
