The "implied warranty of fitness for a particular purpose" is a legal concept that ensures a product is suitable for a specific use that the buyer has communicated to the seller. When a buyer informs the seller about their intended use, the seller is expected to provide a product that meets those needs. This warranty is automatically assumed in many sales transactions, even if it is not explicitly stated. If the product fails to perform as expected for that specific purpose, the buyer may have the right to seek a remedy, such as a refund or replacement. This warranty protects consumers by holding sellers accountable for the quality and suitability of their products, ensuring that they meet the buyer's stated requirements.
