This is stated in the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) section 2-314 which establishes an implied warranty of merchantability for goods that are sold or leased by a merchant who deals with goods of that kind. This means that the goods must be fit for their ordinary purpose, be of average or better quality, and be properly packaged and labeled.
