THIRD-PARTY BENEFICIARIES OF EXPRESS AND IMPLIED WARRANTIES (§ 8.2A-216)

Lack of privity between the plaintiff and the defendant shall be no defense in
any action brought against the manufacturer or lessor of goods, other than as
lessor under a finance lease, to recover damages for breach of warranty, express
or implied, or for negligence, although the plaintiff did not lease the goods
from the defendant, if the plaintiff was a person whom the manufacturer or
lessor might reasonably have expected to use, consume, or be affected by the
goods.
