Article 1562. In a sale of goods, there is an

implied warranty or condition as to the quality

or fitness of the goods, as follows:

(1) Where the buyer, expressly or by

implication, makes known to the seller the

particular purpose for which the goods are

acquired, and it appears that the buyer relies

on the seller's skill or judgment (whether he

be the grower or manufacturer or not), there

is an implied warranty that the goods shall

be reasonably fit for such purpose;

(2) Where the goods are brought by

description from a seller who deals in goods

of that description (whether he be the

grower or manufacturer or not), there is an

implied warranty that the goods shall be of

merchantable quality. (n)
