Summary
The New York Court of Appeals held that an infant may recover on an implied warranty of fitness for food purchased by a parent, rejecting the strict privity requirement and extending the warranty to household members. The Court reinstated the infant’s recovery and affirmed the judgment with costs, while noting a concurrence that limited the modification to the present facts.
