These should be filed along with the sales slip, in case a warranty claim needs to be made. But { what about products that have no warranty? Do you have any rights if the product -doesn’t perform? Yes you do. Implied warranties come automatically with every sale, even though they are not written out. These warranties are called “merchantability” and “fitness of purpose.” Merchantability means that you have a legal'right to get what you paid for. If you open the box with your new food processor and find the blades missing, or you find a set of mixing bowls instead, your implied warranty says that the merchant must take back what’s in the box and give you your food processor complete with working parts. Fitness for purpose means that you can expect the product to do what it’s supposed to do. A vacuum cleaner should get the lint and litter off your carpets. A lawn mower should cut the grass. A seller can’t give you a written warranty that ab solves him from honoring the implied warranties.
