The cases hold, as Judge Maok’s opinion for the court points out, that actual or constructive notice is required to trigger warranty liability. See Id., 349 N.E.2d at 774-76; Berman & Sons, Inc., supra 379 Mass. at 202, 396 N.E.2d at 985-86. As a consequence, liability for negligence and for breach of warranty turn out to be virtually the same: the former for failure to use reasonable care to cure a known (or constructively known) defect, and the latter for breach of a convenant not to permit a known (or constructively known) defect.
