Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Ron relied on Matt's statement that the boots offered protection for temperatures of 20° below zero, and ordered them based on that information. However, upon delivery, the box stated a different temperature range, which was a later express warranty. Since Ron suffered frostbite in temperatures of 27° below zero, which is within the stated range on the box, the boots failed to meet the warranty. Therefore, there was a breach of warranty, and Ron can sue for damages.
