Selzer v. Brunsell Brothers, Ltd.
Wisconsin Court of Appeals
257 Wis. 2d 809 (2002)
- Written by Robert Cane, JD
Facts
Peter Selzer (plaintiff) purchased windows from Marvin Lumber & Cedar Company (defendant). The windows were advertised as “deep-treated to permanently protect against rot.” The windows were sold with an express one-year warranty. Selzer purchased a number of windows from Marvin in 1990. Seven years later, Selzer noticed wood rot in some of the window frames. Selzer informed Marvin of the rot. Marvin offered a discount on new windows. Selzer filed suit against Marvin for breach of warranty, among other claims. The trial court dismissed Selzer’s warranty claims, finding that the six-year statute of limitations for warranty claims had run. Selzer appealed to the Wisconsin Court of Appeals.
