A) Express warranty
B) Implied warranty of fitness
C) Implied warranty of merchantability
D) Section 402A

Respuesta :

Answer:

Correct Answer:

B) Implied warranty of fitness

Explanation:

A products liability claim normally involves injury or damage caused by a defective product. Proving the claim usually involves one or more of three basic theories of liability: negligence, breach of contract/warranty, and strict liability.

Since there was a bridge of warranty by the truck dealership despite Palmer demanding the best truck, he would be able to sue the dealership under implied warranty of fitness.
