Sunshine Mills, Inc. v. Nutra-Blend, LLC

Summary

The court held that the Mississippi Products Liability Act does not govern Sunshine Mills’ contract and implied-warranty claims because those claims concern delivery of an unsuitable product and commercial losses, not damages caused by a defective product. The court also held that conflicting evidence created genuine issues of material fact concerning contract formation, the parties’ course of dealing, fitness for a particular purpose, inspection, and causation. It therefore reversed the summary judgment and remanded the contract claims for further proceedings.
