What is a breach of warranty?
Breach of warranty is defined as the “failure of a seller to fulfill the terms of a promise, claim or representation made concerning the quality or type of a product.” Purchasers rely on express and implied warranties to determine quality, safety and usefulness.
Although express warranties are part of a sales contract, implied warranties cover “implied promises from the seller to the buyer that the product, if used as it is supposed to be used, will not harm the purchaser.
