Garcia v. Color Tile Distributing Co‪.‬

Plaintiffs (husband and wife) contracted with the defendant to have laid some Armstrongs Hydrocord Linoleum in a portion of the plaintiffs house. Prior to the installation of the linoleum, the plaintiffs placed a quarter-inch plywood covering over the existing concrete floor. This was done after consultation with the employees of the defendant. The defendant then completed the installation of the linoleum and guaranteed it, but within a matter of days the floor began to buckle.
