United States District Court for the Northern District of California

Facts

L’Marc Turner (plaintiff) bought an allegedly defective video-game device manufactured by Sony Interactive Entertainment LLC (Sony) (defendant). Turner sued Sony in federal district court, alleging that Sony breached its express warranties that the device was of “high quality,” would “work properly,” and would be “suitable for gameplay,” and that Sony would “repair or replace” device defects “free of charge.” Sony pointed out that none of these terms appeared in the device’s warranty document. Turner also charged Sony with having breached its implied warranty that the device was merchantable for its ordinary use. Sony pointed out that the device’s warranty document contained, in all capitalized words, a standard Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) disclaimer of any implied warranty, including the implied warranty of merchantability.
