WHEN LACK OF PRIVITY NO DEFENSE IN ACTION AGAINST MANUFACTURER OR SELLER OF
GOODS (§ 8.2-318)

Lack of privity between plaintiff and defendant shall be no defense in any
action brought against the manufacturer or seller of goods to recover damages
for breach of warranty, express or implied, or for negligence, although the
plaintiff did not purchase the goods from the defendant, if the plaintiff was a
person whom the manufacturer or seller might reasonably have expected to use,
consume, or be affected by the goods; however, this section shall not be
construed to affect any litigation pending on June 29, 1962.
