1Opinion of the Court

JOHNSON, Justice.

This is a products liability case. We conclude: (1) federal law does not preempt the claims for breach of express warranty; (2) a limitation of liability provision on the product label is unenforceable because it is unconscionable; (3) there was sufficient proof of causation and damages; (4) pursuant to section 6-1606 of the Idaho Code (I.C.) the trial court correctly reduced the damages awarded for seed loss by the amount of crop loss insurance; and (5) attorney fees are proper under the commercial transaction provision contained in I.C. § 12-120(3).
