What I intentionally design and market a TV that only lasts 2 years, in exchange for a lower price. This law would prevent that.

What would hapoen to the disposible plates and utensils industries?

No it wouldn't? The law is that the product is required to last as long as the customer reasonably expects it to last, if it's explicitly advertised as lasting for 2 years then the customer can't reasonably expect it to last longer.
