Adams v. American Cyanamid Co.

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• holding that \the requirement of § 2-316(2) that a disclaimer of warranty of merchantability be conspicuous also applies to limitations of remedies\ under § 2 -719
• finding that a limitation of remedies provision on a herbicide label was unconscionable
• finding provision procedurally unconscionable because its importance was not understandable to a layperson and would “permit the defendant to escape all consequential responsibility” and leave the plaintiff without “substantial recourse for his loss”
• looking to the parties’ prior course of dealing to determine procedural unconscionability
• farmers’ claim against herbicide manufacturer for crop loss concerned consequential damages rather than direct damages
• label on herbicide disclaiming warranties was conspicuous even though disclaimer label appeared in owner’s manual where disclaimer heading was displayed prominently and disclaimer was sufficiently set off from other materials
