Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Although Lillian approved of the sample provided by Paper Products Ltd., it does not necessarily absolve the company from liability if the product they sold did not meet implied terms of quality and fitness for purpose under the Sale of Goods Act. The fact that the paper yellowed and became unusable within a month suggests that it may not have met these implied terms.
