Colorado Code
Part 3 - General Obligation and Construction of Contract
§ 4-2-318. Third Party Beneficiaries of Warranties Express or Implied

A seller's warranty whether express or implied extends to any person who may reasonably be expected to use, consume, or be affected by the goods and who is injured by breach of the warranty. A seller may not exclude or limit the operation of this section.

Editor's note - Colorado legislative change: Colorado changed "natural person who is in the family or household of his buyer or who is a guest in his home if it is reasonable to expect that such person may" to read "person who may reasonably be expected to".
Prior Uniform Statutory Provision: None.
Purposes:

The second alternative is designed for states where the case law has already developed further and for those that desire to expand the class of beneficiaries. The third alternative goes further, following the trend of modern decisions as indicated by Restatement of Torts 2d § 402A (Tentative Draft No. 10, 1965) in extending the rule beyond injuries to the person [As amended in 1966].

COLORADO COMMENT
This section, as amended by Colorado, extends to any person reasonably expected to use, consume, or be affected by goods the same warranty which the buyer received in the contract of sale, thereby freeing any such beneficiaries from any technical rules as to "privity". The Colorado change enlarges the potential liability of a seller by extending the warranty to other persons in the distributive chain. This section seeks to accomplish this purpose without any derogation of any right or remedy resting on negligence. It rests primarily upon the merchant-seller's warranty under this Article that the goods sold are merchantable and fit for the ordinary purposes for which such goods are used rather than the warranty of fitness for a particular purpose. Implicit in the section is that any beneficiary of a warranty may bring a direct action for breach of warranty against the seller whose warranty extends to him.
