This guide walks through the breach of warranty lawsuit Florida business owners may consider when goods fail. A breach of warranty claim says a seller or manufacturer made a promise about its goods, and the goods did not match that promise. For sales of goods in Florida, Chapter 672 of the Florida Statutes<\/a> applies to transactions in goods, including hybrid transactions, as that section describes.<\/p>\n

What Is a Breach of Warranty Lawsuit, and Who Can Bring One?<\/h2>\n

A breach of warranty lawsuit asks a court to hold a seller responsible for goods that did not meet its promises. It fits businesses that bought equipment, machinery, materials, inventory or hardware that failed, underperformed or was not fit for its job.<\/p>\n

Contractors and subcontractors who buy defective materials or equipment fit this description too.<\/p>\n

Chapter 672 covers transactions in goods. Fla. Stat. \u00a7 672.102<\/a> provides that the chapter applies to transactions in goods; in a hybrid transaction, it applies to the transaction when the sale-of-goods aspects predominate, and when they do not, only the provisions that relate primarily to the sale-of-goods aspects apply. The section was amended in 2025 (ch. 2025-92), and the current text is the version that applies.<\/p>\n

This page covers economic losses, such as downtime, replacement costs and lost profits. It does not cover personal injury claims.<\/p>\n\n

Which Warranties Can a Florida Business Enforce?<\/h2>\n

Under Fla. Stat. \u00a7 672.313<\/a>, express warranties by the seller are created by an affirmation of fact or promise about the goods, a description of the goods, or a sample or model, when it becomes part of the basis of the bargain.<\/p>\n
