Plaintiff sued Defendant for breach of contract claiming raw materials provided by Defendant to Plaintiff's customers were defective. Defendant agreed to provide polypropylene staple fiber for Plaintiff's state-of-the-art factory, but the raw materials routinely clogged the machinery. Plaintiff sought more than $10 million in damages. Following a bench trial, the Court entered judgment in favor of the Defendant, on the grounds that the contract specified a particular fiber (T-196(R)), not a particular grade of fiber. Accordingly, the Plaintiff was entitled to receive only good quality T-196(R) that was free from defects.
