They are also liable for defects in conformity resulting from packaging, assembly instructions or installation when this has been put in their charge by the contract or has been carried out under their responsibility.
Article L217-5 of the Consumer Code
The goods conform to the contract:
1° If they are suitable for the use normally expected of similar goods and, where applicable:

When the buyer requests from the seller, during the course of the commercial warranty granted to them upon acquisition or repair of movable property, a restoration covered by the warranty, any period of immobilization of at least seven days is added to the duration of the warranty that remained to run.
This period runs from the buyer's request for intervention or from making the goods in question available for repair, if this making available is subsequent to the intervention request.
Article 1641 of the Civil Code
The seller is bound by the warranty for hidden defects of the thing sold which render it unfit for the use for which it is intended, or which so diminish that use that the buyer would not have acquired it, or would have given only a lesser price, had they known of them.
