Assignment: The Legal Environment
Milan purchased saffron extract, marketed as "America's Hottest New Way to a Flat Belly," online from Dr. Chen. The website stated that recently published studies showed a significant weight loss for people who used pure saffron extract as a supplement without diet and/or exercise.

• Did Dr. Chen's website make any express warranties on the saffron extract or its effectiveness in causing weight loss?
• Does the implied warranty of merchantability apply to the purchase of weight-loss supplements?
