Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Excluding consequential damages for personal injuries in a consumer contract, especially for a product like an exercise machine which has a high potential for causing personal injury if defective, is generally considered unconscionable. This is because it puts the consumer at a significant disadvantage, denying them compensation for potentially serious injuries.
