A few weeks ago your new Electrolux dishwasher exploded causing a huge flood of hot soapy water on the floor of the kitchen, destroying a lot of food, injuring the cook and causing you to shut the restaurant for one evening. The dishwasher costs $5000 and Electrolux has agreed to send you a new one. But you are upset about the other costs: the clean-up bill is $5000, the cook's emergency room visit is $1000, and you calculate the loss of the evening's receipts at $1000. Will you be able to get these costs as damages from Electrolux? Why/why not? Discuss each cost. What if the contract to purchase the dishwasher (which you only just read) contains a limitation of liability clause?
