Economic loss has been defined more broadly than Plaintiff suggests, to include damages
for inadequate value, costs of repair and replacement of the defective product, or consequent loss
of profits, as well as the diminution in the value of the product because it is inferior in quality
and does not work for the general purposes for which it was sold or manufactured. Redarowicz
v. Ohlendorf, 441 N.E.2d 324, 327 (Ill. 1982); Heath v. Palmer, 2006 VT 125, ¶ 15. Therefore,
to recover in negligence, there must be a showing of harm above and beyond disappointed
expectations, since a buyer's desire to enjoy the benefit of his bargain is not an interest that tort
law traditionally protects. Redarowicz, 441 N.E.2d at 327.
