Implied warranties are warranties imposed under state law which require that a product is safe and fit for its intended use. Some states have enacted implied warranty statutes which include a "warranty of fitness for a particular purpose", which implies that a product can be used for its intended purpose, and a "warranty of merchantability", which implies that a product can be safely sold and used. For instance, if you purchase a bicycle, there is an implied warranty that the product will function as a bicycle and that the spokes in the wheel are sufficient to serve the intended function of a wheel. If the manufacturer the bicycle failed to design in a sufficient number of spokes to withstand the weight of a foreseeable user of a bicycle, a claim may be made that the manufacturer breached the implied warranty of fitness.
