Exercise 16

Contract Packers rented a truck from Hertz Truck Leasing. The brakes of the truck did not function properly. This resulted in injuring Packers' employee Cintrone while he was riding in the truck as it was driven by his helper. Cintrone sued Hertz for breach of the implied warranty that the truck was fit for normal use on public highways. Hertz contended that implied warranties apply only to sales, not to bailments for hire. Decide. [Cintrone v Hertz Truck Leasing Rental Service 212 A2d 769 (NJ)]
