Okla. Stat. tit. 12A, § 2A-102
Oklahoma Code Comment
Article 2A applies to leases of goods. "Goods" are defined in § 2A-103(1)(h). Many leases also include an element of services; for example, installation or maintenance of the goods. Under an Oklahoma decision dealing with this issue in a sale of goods, it is clear the presence of a service element does not necessarily preclude coverage under Article 2A of the UCC. See Dunn Buick, Inc. v. Belle Isle Plumbing Heating & Air Conditioning Co., 9 UCC Rep.Serv. (Callaghan) 827 ((Okla.App.1971).).
But what if the transaction is primarily one for services, eventhough it is the goods component that causes the problem? For example, in Redwine v. Baptist General Convention, 681 P.2d 1121 (Okla.App.1982), the action was for wrongful death when a defective oxygenator owned by the hospital pumped air rather than blood into the deceased during open-heart surgery. The court denied warranty liability on the basis the hospital was principally engaged in the furnishing of services, and thus the applicable standard was negligence for which the statute of limitations had run. To the extent this case represents the law of Oklahoma, enactment of Article 2A would not change it. However, it is suggested that a more sensible approach, given very similar facts and given that the goods component of the transaction could qualify as a lease under Article 2A, is represented by the decision in Skelton v. Druid City Hospital Board, 459 So.2d 818 (Ala.1984).
The 1991 amendments make no change to this section.
