If Anna did not normally deal in widgets, Pavel could not succeed in a claim based on the widget's lack of merchantability, as the implied warranty of merchantability typically applies to sellers who are merchants with respect to goods of that kind. However, Pavel might still have a claim for lack of fitness for a particular purpose if he relied on Anna's skill or judgment to select the widget for a specific use and she knew of that purpose.
