Explanation:

The uniform commercial code are a set of rules that govern transactions involving sale of goods. One of such rules is the implied warranty of merchantability.

When goods are sold there is an implied warranty that the item will perform up to a particular level.

For example if one buys a television not is expected that the television will work. If it does not come on, implied warranty has been breached.

So in this case regardless of what Ocean knew or could have discovered, selling defective goods is a breach of implied warranty of merchantability.
