Acme Revival Takes Major Stand for Right to Repair With 10 Lawsuits Against Electronics Manufacturers

Denver, CO — Denver-based Acme Revival has filed 10 right-to-repair lawsuits against electronics manufacturers, alleging violations of Colorado’s Consumer Repair Bill of Rights Act and the Colorado Consumer Protection Act. The lawsuits challenge manufacturers’ alleged refusal to provide essential repair materials to independent repair providers.

The 10 lawsuits involve Toast, Owl Labs, Blackmagic Design, Luxottica and Meta, Sonos, DJI, Bowers & Wilkins, Roborock, Empower Tribe, and YoloLiv. Acme Revival alleges that these manufacturers failed or refused to provide qualifying replacement parts, technical manuals, firmware, diagnostic tools, and other resources necessary to repair certain consumer and commercial electronic devices.

Acme Revival began filing these lawsuits in July 2026, starting with Toast on July 7, followed by Owl Labs and Blackmagic Design later that month. Additional lawsuits were filed against Luxottica and Meta, Sonos, DJI, Bowers & Wilkins, and Roborock during September 2026. The complaints allegedly involve repeated requests for repair materials that were refused, ignored, or restricted to manufacturer-authorized service networks.

On October 7, 2026, Acme Revival filed two additional lawsuits against Empower Tribe and YoloLiv, bringing the total to 10 cases. The Empower Tribe complaint concerns Behringer, Midas, TC Helicon, and Turbosound audio equipment, while the YoloLiv complaint involves YoloBox streaming encoders and monitors. Both lawsuits allege that the manufacturers failed or refused to provide qualifying repair resources despite repeated demands.

Across the 10 cases, Acme Revival alleges that manufacturers’ restrictions have prevented the company from completing certain customer repairs, resulting in lost business opportunities, wasted diagnostic and administrative time, and harm to customer relationships. The complaints further allege that restricting access to repair materials may reduce competition and limit consumers’ ability to choose independent repair services.

Through these lawsuits, Acme Revival seeks declaratory judgments, injunctive relief requiring qualifying repair resources to be made available on fair and reasonable terms, and damages and legal costs where permitted by law. The company aims to establish manufacturers’ obligations under Colorado’s Consumer Repair Bill of Rights Act, which became applicable to covered digital electronic equipment on January 1, 2026.

The filing of 10 right-to-repair lawsuits represents a milestone in Acme Revival’s efforts to challenge allegedly unlawful restrictions on independent electronics repair. All allegations remain unproven, and the filing of these lawsuits does not establish wrongdoing by any defendant. The outcomes remain subject to judicial determination.
