When can remedies be applied when goods do not fit their purpose?
=== For example: You go to a shop and purchase some standard black t-shirts just for regular use around home. Usually when you purchase new clothing you put it through a wash cycle, so the t-shirts are put through a normal cycle. When you pull out the t-shirts along with your other clothes you see that the t-shirts have a small tear. When you examine the tear you find that the t-shirts pull apart like paper. ===
