Today's Terms
Design Defect
Definition:
If the actual design of a product makes it unreasonably dangerous, then every product with that design is defective. For example, the poor design of the Ford Pinto is what made it defective, and because the design was common to all Pintos, they were all defective in design.
Implied Warranties
Definition:
Not stated outright by the manufacturer or the seller. For example, you might have an Implied Warranty of Merchantability, which promises that your product is good for its ordinary purpose.
Merchant
Definition:
A person who deals in the goods of the kind or otherwise by his occupation holds himself out as having knowledge or skill peculiar to the practices or goods involved in the transaction or to whom such knowledge or skill may be attributed by his employment of an agent or broker or other intermediary who by his occupation holds himself out as having such knowledge or skill.
