Yes, because the statement was false. When Mark told Leslie that the sweeper had a four-stage allergen filtration system, he was making a statement about the sweeper's specifications. Regardless of his knowledge about the truth of the statement, the fact that the statement was false and likely influenced Leslie's decision to buy makes Mark liable for breach of warranty.
