ECJ: Ruling on information obligations of online retailers with regard to manufacturer warranties

Does the online store have to inform about an existing manufacturer's warranty, even if it is not even mentioned in the offer? The ECJ (judgment of 5.5.2022 - C-179/21) has now ruled that a corresponding information obligation only exists if the entrepreneur makes such a manufacturer's warranty a central feature of its offer. The mere existence of a manufacturer's warranty or its casual mention is not sufficient for this purpose.
