The car was a 1991 Ford with 126,000 miles on it. Following a test drive and the Singletons’ represen- tation that the car was “in good mechanical condi- tion,” Felley purchased the car for $5,800.

- Pacific Southern Airlines (PSA) had an unhappy customer. Cynthia Mercier-Walters flew from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, to Phoenix, Arizona. The flight stopped briefly at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, where she got off the plane for half an hour. When she returned to her seat, her $400 prescription reading glasses were gone. She asked the flight attendant where the glasses were, and the attendant said they probably were thrown away since the cleaning crew had come in with big bags and tossed everything in them. Ms. Mercier-Walters tried to locate the glasses through the airline’s lost-and-found service, but she failed. Then she wrote a strong letter to the airline demanding reimbursement for the loss. She felt that it was obvious that she was returning to her seat. The airline, however, knows that an overwhelming number of passengers arriving at hubs switch planes for their connecting flights.

- Arvo Lake, a retired 71-year-old man, bought an air conditioner in May. The unit was installed and operated according to the manufacturer's specifications. Unbeknownst to Lake, the unit contained a hole in the refrigeration system that allowed Freon, the coolant, to escape from the unit. By August, the unit had ceased cooling, and Lake's residence reached a temperature of at least 96 degrees Fahrenheit. The heat caused Lake to suffer from hyperthermia, which caused circulatory failure and then death. The executor of Lake's estate sued the manufacturer of the air conditioner for damages resulting from breach of warranty.Was Lake's death a foreseeable consequence of the air conditioner's failure to operate properly?arrow_forwardSelect all that apply.

Dottie is silent as Dr. Rice leaves the examination room and Bruce proceeds to set the walker correctly. However, when Dottie sees that Bruce must once again put Dottie in a gait belt for her protection—the belt was used earlier in the examination to assess Dottie’s ability to ambulate—the patient gets feisty. She is visibly tired and ready to go home. “I’ll learn to use the walker if I have to, but I won’t wear that belt. It makes me feel like a baby. And it’s such a bother.

- Louis Estrada is Regional Manager at Commander Electronics in Atlanta, Georgia. He received an e-mail from Joseph Grimes, a frustrated restaurant owner who is demanding a steep price match for all his trouble with two new 4K Ultra HD televisions that both malfunctioned (see Activity 6.12). He had bought a Samsung QLED Q90R 65" 4K UHD TV (QN65Q90RAFXZA) at Commander Electronics for $2,597.99 plus tax. After installing it, he found, much to his chagrin, that the TV set failed the very next day. Wanting a new TV as soon as possible, he drove 30 minutes to the same Commander Electronics store to exchange the faulty model for another Samsung QLED Q90R 65" 4K UHD TV. A few days later, this TV also conked out. Again Joseph had to return the TV set, but this time he insisted on exchanging it for a different brand, a comparable LG 65" 4K UHD HDR Smart OLED TV (OLED65C8PUA) or a larger Sony 75" 4K Ultra HD Smart LED TV (XBR75X940E) that also fit Joseph’s criteria.

The patrons left a $5.00 tip for Carl on a $200.00 bill and left a note saying, “Go back to school if you want more money.” Carl was so upset that he went home and posted on Facebook about how cheap, stinky, and ugly the patrons were. Carl mentioned the restaurant's name in his post. Carl had only 20 Facebook friends, and his privacy settings only allowed friends to see his posts. One of Carl's coworkers saw the post and told the restaurant manager. The restaurant manager terminated Carl based on violating two company policies: 1. The policy prohibiting speaking disparagingly about customers and 2. The policy prohibits casting the restaurant negatively on social media networks. Carl is not in a union.
