LODI, NJ— The five-year warranty for a UniTek MP3 player outlasted the product's
manufacturer, which closed Monday after two years in business. "I still had more than
four years left on that [warranty]," said Jeffrey Lalo, 44, who bought the MP3 player
in June 2001. "Man, that sucks." Lalo said he plans to hang on to the
certificate of warranty "just in case they somehow come back or something."
