The Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) is a model statute covering things such as the sale of goods, bank transactions, warranties, loans secured by personal property and certain other commercial matters. All states have adopted and adapted the entire UCC, with the exception of Louisiana, which only adopted parts of it. Uniform Commercial Code ?§ 2-315 provides that where the seller at the time of contracting has reason to know any particular purpose for which the goods are required and that the buyer is relying on the seller's skill or judgment to select or furnish suitable goods, there is unless excluded or modified an implied warranty that the goods shall be fit for such purpose.
A Tennessee Complaint for Breach of Warranty of Fitness for a Particular Purpose in the Sale of a Product is a legal document filed by a consumer in Tennessee when they believe that a product they purchased did not meet the specific purpose for which it was sold, resulting in financial losses or personal injury. This complaint seeks to hold the seller or manufacturer accountable for the breach of warranty, as well as seeking compensation for any damages suffered.

There are two main types of Tennessee Complaint for Breach of Warranty of Fitness for a Particular Purpose in the Sale of a Product: 1. Express Warranty Breach: This type of complaint arises when the seller or manufacturer explicitly states or advertises that the product is suitable for a specific purpose, and the product fails to meet the promised purpose. For example, if a company sells a lawnmower and explicitly claims it can easily cut through long grass, but the mower repeatedly clogs and fails to function as advertised, a consumer can file a complaint for breach of warranty of fitness for a particular purpose based on express warranty. 2. Implied Warranty Breach: This type of complaint arises when the seller or manufacturer sells a product without any explicit claims about its suitability for a particular purpose, but there is an implied warranty that the product is fit for ordinary use. If the product fails to perform as expected under normal circumstances, the consumer can file a complaint for breach of warranty of fitness for a particular purpose based on an implied warranty. For example, if a consumer purchases a new bicycle for regular commuting purposes, but it repeatedly malfunctions and causes accidents due to faulty brakes, they can file a complaint for breach of warranty of fitness for a particular purpose. In both types of complaints, the consumer must demonstrate that they suffered financial losses, property damage, or personal injury directly caused by the product's failure to meet the warranted purpose. They may seek various forms of compensation, including reimbursement for the purchase price, repair or replacement costs, medical expenses, lost wages, and any other damages resulting from the breach of warranty. It's essential to consult with an attorney experienced in consumer protection and product liability laws in Tennessee to properly prepare and file a Complaint for Breach of Warranty of Fitness for a Particular Purpose in the Sale of a Product.
