Such a statement, if it is to have any real force at all, should appear
prior to purchase in the catalogues, the website, on packaging, etc. --
anywhere and everywhere where it may have prevented the purchase had the
buyer but known the defect. Such statements made after the fact of purchase
probably have no weight at all. I'd expect them to make good on what I
thought I was getting. Simple as that -- they make a representation about
the product, I expect them to meet the expectation. Since when has it been
a good business practice to do otherwise? In some cases, I would think a
false representation would be actionable -- depending on the damage incurred
by the false representation.
I know you are just speculating, Lar -- but this is no small thing we are
talking about. I think nearly all of us sometimes buy whole sets just to
acquire some one small element in a particular color.
