Understanding Breach of Warranty Cases
In Pennsylvania, Breach of Warranty laws play a crucial role in protecting you and your family from defective products.
When a product fails to meet the expectations set by the manufacturer or seller, you may have the right to seek legal action following an injury.
What is a Breach of Warranty?
A Breach of Warranty occurs when a seller or manufacturer fails to fulfill the promises or guarantees made about a product’s quality, performance, or safety.
In Pennsylvania, warranties can be categorized primarily into two separate types:
- Express Warranties:Â This is where there are explicitly stated guarantees made by the seller about the product.
- Implied Warranties:Â Unlike express warranties, implied warranties are not explicitly stated but are legally presumed.
The two primary types of implied warranties in Pennsylvania are:
- Implied Warranty of Merchantability: This warranty assures that a product is fit for its ordinary purpose. For example, if you purchase a toaster, it should function as expected without safety hazards.
- Implied Warranty of Fitness for a Particular Purpose: This applies when a seller knows that the buyer intends to use the product for a specific purpose and the buyer relies on the seller’s expertise to do so. If the product fails to meet that purpose, a breach may be claimed.
Breach of Warranty in Product Liability Claims
In Pennsylvania, a Breach of Warranty can be a critical component of Product Liability claims. When a defective product causes harm, consumers may pursue claims based on negligence, strict liability, or breach of warranty.
The Key Case Elements We Use to Win For You
