Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Under the UCC, the implied warranty of merchantability is breached regardless of whether the merchant knew or could have discovered the defect. This warranty is a guarantee that the goods sold by a merchant are at least of average quality and fit for their ordinary purpose. Since the goods sold by Oceanic were defective, this warranty was breached, and Pacific Harbor Company may seek remedies for the breach.
