Uniform Commercial Code Section 2-318

Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) Section 2-318 addresses who can claim warranties when a product is sold. It specifies that if a seller makes a promise or guarantee about a product, that protection can extend beyond just the direct buyer to other people who use the product, as long as those users would reasonably be expected to rely on the seller’s promises. This means that if a product has defects or issues, not only the buyer but also others who suffer harm can seek remedies under the warranties provided by the seller, enhancing consumer protection.
