Meta and Luxottica Allegedly Violate Right to Repair Law
Case Overview
A Denver electronics repair shop named Acme Revival Inc. initiated a lawsuit against Luxottica Group S.p.A., Luxottica of America Inc., Meta Platforms Inc., and Meta Platforms Technologies LLC. The core allegation is that the defendants violated Colorado law by not supplying the necessary resources to repair Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses.
The plaintiff contends that the companies failed to comply with Colorado’s Consumer Repair Bill of Rights Act, which mandates that manufacturers furnish independent repair providers with essential repair materials for digital electronics.

Acme is seeking a court order compelling Luxottica and Meta to provide the required repair materials under fair and reasonable terms, alongside compensation for the resulting losses. The lawsuit was filed in the District Court of Denver County, Colorado, and the plaintiff is represented by Anthony A. Garcia of The Anthony A. Garcia Law Firm.
