Anyone want to tackle "expressly disclamed by name"? Jonathan? :-)

Nothing we have been told in this thread suggests that Lowe's
disclaimed the warranty of fitness for purpose when selling
the product to the OP.

On the contrary, the OP specifically asked a Lowe's associate
if the product would perform similarly to similar products
sold by Lowe's in prior years, and the associate told him that
it would. That statement by the associate to the OP prior to
purpose established a warranty of fitness for purpose.

If you have some reason to believe, based on the information
we have been provided, that Lowe's disclaimed said warranty,
then please fully explain your reasoning.

If you don't, then please stop being one of the people posting
in this thread who is acting like he has a clue but actually
doesn't. Thanks.
