Fitness Equipment Warranty

Warranties, product liability, and consumer law?

Implied warranties. Sam, a farmer, needs to install a 2,000 pound piece of equipment in his barn. The equipment must be lifted 30 feet into a hayloft. Sam goes to Durham Hardware and tells Durham that he needs some heavyduty rope to be used on his farm. Durham recommends a one inch thick nylon rope, and Sam purchases 200 feet of it. Sam ties the rope around the piece of equipment, puts the rope through a pulley, and with the aid of a tractor lifts the equipment off the ground. Suddenly, the rope breaks. The equipment crashes to the ground and is extensively damaged. Sam files suit against Durham for breach of implied warrranty of fitness for a particular purpose. Discuss how successful Sam will be with this suit.

Well, I will help you with your homework:

No breach of implied warranty of fitness for a particular purpose here. This warranty requires that the buyer inform the seller of the particular purpose for which they are buying the item. Sam didn’t tell Durham why he wanted the rope. He simply said he needed heavy duty rope. There is no warranty of fitness for a particular purpose because Sam never told Durham of the specific reason he needed the rope (lifting the equipment 30 feet into the air, etc.). Sam will not be successful in this suit.
