Little is more exasperating to the Maine consumer than to have a new product break or fail shortly after purchase, or even later. The consumer who parts with his hard-earned cash after researching the market closely often builds very high expectations as to how this product will improve the quality of his life. When the product breaks or otherwise fails, then crestfallen consumers focus on the fine print included in any warranty associated with the product to seek consumer justice.

Even though a homebuilder was not the seller of a home and had no direct contractual relationship with the buyers, it can still be sued for breach of implied warranty, the Arizona Supreme Court has ruled.

[...] Durham wrote, the implied warranty doesn't make builder-vendors or developer-vendors the insurers against any and all defects in a home, as no house is built without defects. [...] the warranty is not intended to alleviate buyers of their duty to inspect residential construction or negotiate for express warranties. [...] to establish a breach of implied warranty of workmanlike manner or habitability in Utah, a plaintiff must now show that: * There was a purchase from a builder-vendor or developer-vendor, * That the residence contained a latent defect, * That the defect manifested itself after the purchase, * That the defect was caused by improper design, material or workmanship, and * That the defect created a question of safety or made the house unfit for human habitation.
