• The legal concept that applies here is "merchantability," which is a condition in a contract of sale.
• Condition as to merchantability means that goods sold must be reasonably fit for the general purpose for which they are sold in the market.
• In simpler terms, when you buy a product, there is an implied condition that it should be suitable for normal use.
• In this case, when Y purchased the soft drink, there was an implied condition that it would be safe to consume and handle. Since the bottle burst and caused injury, it indicates a breach of the implied condition of merchantability.
• Y can claim damages from X based on this breach.

In the given scenario, the most applicable condition is merchantability, as it pertains to the general suitability and safety of the product for its intended purpose, which was not met when the bottle burst and caused injury.
