[15 U.S.C. 41 et seq.] or any statute defined therein as an
Antitrust Act.

of, or impose liability on, any person for personal injury, or (B)
supersede any provision of State law regarding consequential
damages for injury to the person or other injury.
(c) State warranty laws
(1) Except as provided in subsection (b) of this section and in
paragraph (2) of this subsection, a State requirement -
(A) which relates to labeling or disclosure with respect to
written warranties or performance thereunder;
(B) which is within the scope of an applicable requirement of
sections 2302, 2303, and 2304 of this title (and rules
implementing such sections), and
(C) which is not identical to a requirement of section 2302,
2303, or 2304 of this title (or a rule thereunder),
shall not be applicable to written warranties complying with such
sections (or rules thereunder).
(2) If, upon application of an appropriate State agency, the
Commission determines (pursuant to rules issued in accordance with
section 2309 of this title) that any requirement of such State
covering any transaction to which this chapter applies (A) affords
protection to consumers greater than the requirements of this
chapter and (B) does not unduly burden interstate commerce, then
such State requirement shall be applicable (notwithstanding the
provisions of paragraph (1) of this subsection) to the extent
specified in such determination for so long as the State
administers and enforces effectively any such greater requirement.

is otherwise governed by Federal law. If only a portion of a
