1.Samuel was looking to buy a chainsaw to cut tough trees in his 10-acre lot. His neighbor Sara who worked for a landscaping company and was an expert in landscaping equipment, had a used chainsaw. The chainsaw was not designed for tough trees, however Sara highly recommended it to Samuel and stated that the motor can 'certainly' handle cutting tough trees. Samuel, a little hesitant to purchase the saw, relied on Sara's expertise and purchased it for $250 from her. He spent $100 to buy some appliances for the used chainsaw to function better. The saw worked perfectly for small branches, but when he tried to cut down a big tough Oak tree the saw broke and injured his left hand severely. The medical treatment cost Sameul $8,000. Later after recovery he figured that the saw was not designed for tough trees.

a)Can Samuel rescind the contract with Sara? Explain.

b)What remedies, if any, are available to Samuel?
