A purchaser, having discovered a significant defect in a purchased item that rendered it unfit for its intended use, brought an action against the seller for rescission of the sale and damages, arguing the defect was not apparent upon delivery. The court rejected the appeal, holding that the seller's obligation under the contract for sale includes a warranty against hidden defects that diminish the item's use, and if the defect existed at the time of the sale, the seller is liable, regardless of whether they were aware of the defect, provided the buyer discovered and reported it within the statutory timeframe.
