You can sue anyone for anything at any time for any reason anywhere.

But you will have to give us more facts, details, and info.

 

[tranquility]

I'd look to UCC 2-715.

 

[las365]

You can ask for whatever damages are available under the tort law you sue the bad people for violating.

Why do you blame the supplier's product for your failure to get or keep the contact?
