The service technician advised Ken on the specific items to use for his overgrown and rocky lawn, implying that they were suitable for that particular purpose. Based on this recommendation, an implied warranty of fitness for a particular purpose was created. If the recommended items failed to live up to their intended purpose and caused the mower to break down, Ken may recover damages from Lawn & Garden for breach of this implied warranty.
