According to the facts of the case Keller v. Inland Metals All Weather Conditioning, Inc, the question arises if there was an express warranty presented by the conversations held between both parties. If the express warranty was made then the decision falls on whether or not the company breached the warranty.
The facts state that the Keller’s were in need of a industrial dehumidifier to eliminate the hot, humid, foul-smelling air near and around the pool area. Not having much knowledge of the correct size needed for the job, they received two bids. One bid on a 7.5 ton and the other on a 10 ton dehumidifier. Thinking the 7.5 ton would be too small the Keller’s had the president of Inland Metals and a representative for the manufacturer visit the club. Both agreed that the 7.5 would work. Inland then followed up with a letter stating the same information, that the 7.5 ton would work and rid the club of the issues they were having. Once the dehumidifier was installed it did not perform to the standards set by the president of Inland and the manufacturer representative.
From the correspondence between both parties, I believe that Inland did breach the express warranty. Inland believes that they did not guarantee would fix all the problems. But in the correspondence they stated that once the dehumidifier is installed the air problems should be over with. Inland also stated that the ducted system will rid you of the sweating walls and eliminate the offensive odors and overall bad air. This is the express warranty made to the customer. They have said that their product will fix the problems the club was experiencing

    Arvo Lake, a retired seventy-one year old man, bought an air conditioner in May. The unit was installed and operated according to the manufacturer's specifications. Unbeknownst to Lake, the unit contained a hole in the refrigeration system that allowed Freon, the coolant, to escape from the unit. By August, the unit had ceased cooling, and Lake's residence reached a temperature of at least 96 degrees Fahrenheit. The heat caused Lake to suffer from hyperthermia, which caused circulatory failure and then death. The executor of Lake's estate sued the manufacturer of the air conditioner for damages resulting from breach of warranty.…

    I believe that Inland Metals did in fact have an express warranty because of the statement that was made in person and in the letter sent by the president of the company. The Kellers would not have purchased the 7.5 ton humidifier if the president had not given them a statement telling them that the humidifier would work to solve their problem. Even though the 7.5 ton humidifier was cheaper for the Kellers, they did not have knowledge about humidifiers and they relied on the statement of the president when they purchased the humidifier and not on the fact that it was a cheaper price than the 10 ton humidifier. I think the Kellers should be awarded their money back for their purchase from Inland Metals.…

    Sarah is suing ACME for implied warranty of merchantability and negligence, claiming that ACME should have installed the safety back up alarm because they should know about the reverse probability for the truck and the visual allowance. The Plaintiff asserts that Keefer Motors is in breach of duty and failure of warranty of merchantability by failing to warn the City of Albany of the necessity of installing a back-up alarm by failure of inspecting the vehicle prior to selling it to the city. The Plaintiff also claims Keefer Motors knew the intended use of the truck by City of Albany. Additionally, the Plaintiff claims that Susan’s Truck Equipment should be held accountable for breach of implied warranty of fitness because upon altering the truck for a dump bed and hoist they too should have seen the need for a warning system.
