The manager of a mobile phone accessory store e-mailed a wholesaler of mobile phone cases to place an order for 100 mobile phone cases in various colors sized to match the most popular brand of mobile phones. In the e-mail, the manager asked the wholesaler if the cases would fit the newest model of that phone. The wholesaler’s reply said, “That phone’s brand name is listed on the packaging of the cases.” Both parties were unaware that the mobile phone manufacturer had just released a new generation of phones that were slightly larger in size. Upon receiving the shipment, the manager discovered that the cases will not fit the newest phone model. The manager is uncertain whether she can resell all of the cases since they only fit older phones, so she contacts you for advice. Which of the following remedies should you recommend that the manager pursue? Select one.
