Nonsense. It’s accurately returned as defective. If it’s placed back into inventory that’s a mistake. No different than the retailer placing a “legal” return due to defect back on the shelf for sale, and that would be obviously fraudulent behavior by the retailer.
They don’t just put the product back out on the shelf. Often its sold to a liquidator. They would have to label it as open box and most brick and mortar retailers don’t sell open box items.
This isn’t a loophole, it’s straight up illegal. And a dick move to the person who buys it next thinking they’re getting a new one.
