4566 REVIEW DENIED A plaintiff who purchased a product suspecting that representations defendant made about it were false and with the expectation that defendant would be liable for fraud did not purchase in reliance on defendant's representations and therefore cannot make out a case of negligent or intentional misrepresentation (i.e., fraud); since plaintiff did not suffer damage as a result of reliance on defedant's statements, actions under the Unfair Competition Law, False Advertising Law, and Consumer Legal Remedies Act fail.CitationBUCKLAND v THRESHOLD (Toxic Skin Cream) 155 CA4 798 [See: CivC 1709, 1710, 1750 etseq; B&PC 17200 etseq; 17500 etseq; REST 2d Torts 548; Small v Fritz 30 C4 167, T/AT 5/03; Mirkin v Wasserman 5 C4 1082, T/AT 11/93; Pfizer v Superior Court (RevGrtd) 141 CA4 290, P/AT 9/06]
