At approximately $1$:$40$ A$.$M$.,$ on the morning of September $22,1968,$ while Klages was on duty, two unknown individuals entered the motel office and requested a room. After Klages had placed a registration form in front of one of the men and had turned to secure a room key, the individuals announced a stickup. One of the intruders took out a gun and directed Klages to open the safe. Klages, planning to use the mace before the intruder used the gun, moved from the counter to the cash register where the mace was kept. Using the cash register as a shield, Klages squirted the mace, hitting the intruder $$right beside the nose.$$ Klages immediately ducked below the register, but the intruder followed him down and shot him in the head. The intruders immediately departed and Klages called the police. The bullet wound caused complete loss of sight in Klages$$s right eye$\mathrm{.}1$Links to an external site.

Did the manufacturer of the mace pen, General Ordnance Equipment Corporation, make any express warranties?

If so$,$ is General Ordnance Equipment Corporation liable for breach of warranty? Does it matter that the mace pen was purchased from a retailer and not the manufacturer itself?

Does it matter that Klages himself did not purchase the mace pen?
