The provision
In a sale of goods, there is an implied warranty or condition as to the quality or fitness of the goods, as follows: (1) Where the buyer, expressly or by implication, makes known to the seller the particular purpose for which the goods are acquired, and it appears that the buyer relies on the seller's skill or judgment (whether he be the grower or manufacturer or not), there is an implied warranty that the goods shall be reasonably fit for such purpose; (2) Where the goods are brought by description from a seller who deals in goods of that description (whether he be the grower or manufacturer or not), there is an implied warranty that the goods shall be of merchantable quality. (n)
Intellegal Wiki · In plain terms
In a sale of goods, the seller may be bound by an implied warranty as to quality or fitness in two situations: when the buyer makes known the particular purpose and relies on the seller's skill or judgment, the goods must be reasonably fit for that purpose; and when goods are bought by description from a dealer in such goods, they must be of merchantable quality.
