Receipt required for hearing aid purchases

This section says that when you buy a hearing aid, the seller must give you a signed receipt with their business address, license number, and details about the hearing aid and sale terms. If the aid is used or reconditioned, the receipt and box must say so. The receipt must also include a warning that the seller's work is not medical advice.
