Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The implied warranty of fitness for a particular purpose applies when the seller knows or should know the purpose for which the buyer intends to use the product and the buyer relies on the seller's expertise in selecting the product. In this case, Sigrud purchased spiked mountain-climbing shoes, indicating that she had a specific purpose in mind. Since the spikes came out of the shoes and caused her injury, it can be inferred that the shoes were not fit for their intended purpose, and the seller breached the implied warranty of fitness for a particular purpose.
