Navigating the Arrest-to-Trial Process in Texas
Warranty of Fitness
At Capetillo Law Firm, we recognize that navigating the complexities of product liability and warranties can be daunting for consumers. Our commitment is to provide clarity and support to individuals facing issues with defective products. In Texas, consumers are protected under various statutes, including the Texas Business and Commerce Code, which encompasses laws related to the warranty of fitness for a particular purpose.
What is a Warranty of Fitness?
A warranty of fitness for a particular purpose arises when a seller knows or has reason to know the particular purpose for which the goods are required and that the buyer is relying on the seller’s skill or judgment to select or furnish suitable goods. Under Texas Business and Commerce Code § 2.315, this warranty implies that the goods shall be fit for such purpose.
Types of Warranties
There are two main types of warranties: express and implied. Express warranties are explicitly stated by the seller, either verbally or in writing, while implied warranties, such as the warranty of fitness for a particular purpose, are automatically applied by law to ensure that products are safe and fit for their intended use.
Holding Manufacturers and Sellers Accountable
In Texas, if a product fails to meet the standards of an implied warranty of fitness, the buyer may have grounds to pursue a claim against the manufacturer or seller. This can include seeking compensation for damages caused by the defective product. It is essential for consumers to understand that the success of such claims often depends on proving that the seller had knowledge of the buyer’s specific needs and that there was reliance on the seller’s judgment.
