Question

Cindy goes to the lumber yard to buy lumber for a deck that she is building. She tells the salesperson at the lumber yard that she is relying on him to select the right lumber for a project. She buys the lumber and builds the deck. The deck collapses because the lumber was not strong enough to support it. What type of warranty most likely has been breached?a. Express
b. Implied warranty of merchantability
c. Implied warranty of fitness for a particular purpose
d. None

Answer 1

Answer:

c. Implied warranty of fitness for a particular purpose

Explanation:

The warranty of fitness for a particular purpose is inferred whenever a purchaser depends on the supplier to pick the products to fit a particular query.

For instance, if a customer asks a mechanic to supply winter tires and receives tires that are unfit for use in weather, this warranty is breached.

It is also possible to explicitly revoke this implicit warranty by name, thus moving the threat of unfitness back to the purchaser.
