Question

Mary buys a new toaster for $500. the toaster's label bears a disclaimer stating that the manufacturer is not liable for consequential damages. one morning while mary is using the toaster, it emits sparks and damages the electrical wiring in the kitchen. the electrician tells mary that the toaster malfunctioned and that the cost of repairs in her kitchen would amount to $2,000. what amount of monetary damages can mary likely recover from the manufacturer of the toaster

Answer 1

The answer is "$500".

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount of monetary damages Mary can likely recover from the manufacturer of the toaster is $500, because the disclaimer label on the toaster clearly states that, the manufacturer company is not liable for consequential damages. The damage of the electrical wiring in the kitchen refers to consequential damage because it is not the direct result of the damage of toaster but it is due to the spark in the toaster.
