The implied warranty of fitness for a particular purpose applies to any seller of goods when the three elements that give rise to this warranty are all present. With that in mind, can you think of a situation where you (presumably as a non-merchant...) sold a good and were subject to the implied warranty of fitness? Or perhaps a situation where you were purchasing a good from a non-merchant seller who had reason to know of your particular purpose/use for that good at the time of the sale? Were you aware that an implied warranty of fitness automatically became part of your transaction?

Based on your firsthand experience and some of the broad concepts we have learned about this semester, why do you suppose courts began implying a warranty of fitness for a particular purpose in the first place? What are the goals of this implied warranty? Does it accomplish those goals?
