Question

Sigrud buys spiked mountain-climbing shoes from Rockridge Gear store. The spikes come out of the shoes when Sigrud is on the side of a mountain, causing her to be injured in a fall. Rockridge breached_____________.
a. an express warranty.
b. an implied warranty of fitness for a particular purpose.
c. an implied warranty of merchantability.
d. a warranty of title.

Answer 1

Answer:

B) an implied warranty of fitness for a particular purpose.

Explanation:

Sigrud bought spiked mountain climbing shoes, so she could reasonably expect that the shoes would be useful when climbing a mountain. The fact that the spikes came out while she was on the mountain side, isn't exactly what she was expecting when she purchased them. If you buy something that  is supposed to satisfy an specific need or purpose, the seller is providing an implied warranty that the good will actually be fit to satisfy that specific need or purpose.
