Carey v. Chaparral Boats, Inc.

How courts have described this case

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

• stating that the implied warranty of merchantability “is breached when the product is defective to a normal buyer making ordinary use of the product”
• declining to hold that a repair-and-replace clause failed of its essential purpose when “[t]he undisputed record [was] that the repairs were successful”
• cracking of a boat’s finish amounts to a “cosmetic problem” that “in no way affects” the boat’s ordinary use and, therefore, does not breach an implied warranty of merchantability
