Labor Market Discussion
During a monthly Lunch and Learn Seminar at TLG offices, all TLG business consultants are discussing various client cases. During the Discussion of GC’s new business, the group discusses the following question:
(1) Analyze and explain the implied warranty of merchantability.
(2) Analyze and explain specifically how and why GC could be sued for breach of implied warranty of merchantability for using EPI cleaning products to clean GC clients’ commercial property. `
Answer:
The implied warranty of merchantability is a legally recognized warranty that is automatically included in all sales of goods, unless it is specifically excluded or modified. This warranty means that the goods being sold are of merchantable quality, are fit for the ordinary purposes for which such goods are used, and are adequately packaged and labeled.
In the context of GC’s business, if GC is using EPI cleaning products to clean clients’ commercial properties and these products cause damage or harm to the property, GC could potentially be sued for breach of the implied warranty of merchantability. This is because the use of these cleaning products would be considered an ordinary purpose for which they are used, and if they cause harm, they would not be considered of merchantable quality.
Furthermore, if the EPI cleaning products do not meet industry standards or do not perform as expected, GC could also be sued for breach of the implied warranty of merchantability. This is because the goods must be fit for their ordinary purpose, and if the cleaning products do not meet industry standards or perform as expected, they would not be considered fit for their ordinary purpose.
In conclusion, if GC is using EPI cleaning products to clean clients’ commercial properties and these products cause damage or harm, or if they do not meet industry standards or perform as expected, GC could be sued for breach of the implied warranty of merchantability.
