1997Although discovery has been completed, there is no evidence that the delay in seeking to interpose the breach of implied warranty claim would "hinder” future discovery or preclude defendants from "taking some measure in support of [their] position” (Pritzakis v Sbarra, supra, at 799).

2010The “defect” element in a breach of implied warranty claim under the UCC is premised on contract principles and focuses on the purchaser’s disappointed expectations, while the “defect” element in a strict products liability claim is based upon tort principles concerned with social policy and risk allocation (see Denny v Ford Motor Co., 87 NY2d at 256-259 ; Garcia v Woodgrove Sales, Inc., 65 AD3d at 516-517 ).

2006Finally, defendant does not address on appeal the court’s denial of that part of its motion with respect to the breach of implied warranty claim and thus is deemed to have abandoned any contention with respect thereto (see generally Ciesinski v Town of Aurora, 202 AD2d 984 [1994]).

2000That branch of defendants’ motion to dismiss the second cause of action against defendants for breach of implied warranty under the Warranty Act is granted as to Chrysler and denied as to Adzam. 4 New York does not recognize a breach of implied warranty claim in which economic losses have been sustained absent privity of contract (see, Gordon v Ford Motor Co., 239 AD2d 156 [1st Dept 1997]).

1998Because plaintiffs allege losses of only an economic nature resulting from the explosion, we agree with defendant that, under the Court of Appeals’ 1995 decision in Bocre Leasing Corp. v General Motors Corp. ( 84 NY2d 685 ), plaintiffs were not entitled to maintain an action for negligence and strict liability in the absence of allegations of bodily injury or damage to property other than the allegedly defective product.

1992The basis for plaintiffs’ claim is tortious conduct and, therefore, it "is more correctly treated under the theory of strict products liability” (Micallef v Miehle Co., 39 NY2d 376, 387 ).
