Lemon laws provide a remedy for purchasers of cars that repeatedly fail to meet standards of quality and performance. These cars are called lemons. The federal lemon law, the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, protects citizens of all states. State lemon laws vary by state and may not necessarily cover used or leased cars. The rights afforded to consumers by lemon laws may exceed the warranties expressed in purchase contracts. Lemon law is the common nickname for these laws, but each state has different names for the laws and acts.
Clairton is a city in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, United States, along the Monongahela River and is part of the Pittsburgh Metropolitan Area. The population was 8,491 at the 2000 census. Under Pennsylvania legal classifications for local governments, Clairton is considered a third-class city. The city was the setting for the movie The Deer Hunter (1978), although the opening scene featuring the "City of Prayer" sign was not actually filmed there (other mill towns in the Monongahela River Valley and elsewhere in the tri-state area were used). That sign was based on the signs in Clairton, but that footage was actually shot in Mingo Junction, OH. It also is home to Clairton Works, the largest coke manufacturing facility in the United States. The Montour Trail, a recreational rail-trail extends from Clairton to Coraopolis, Pennsylvania.
