HRS §490:2-714
What a buyer can recover after accepting goods that are not as promised
If you accept goods that do not match the contract or warranty, you can sue the seller for the loss caused by the defect. The usual measure is the difference between what the goods were worth and what they would have been worth if they had been as promised. You may also get extra damages in some cases.

The statute, as written — Buyer's damages for breach in regard to accepted goods
(1) Where the buyer has accepted goods and given notification (subsection (3) of section 490:2-607) he may recover as damages for any nonconformity of tender the loss resulting in the ordinary course of events from the seller's breach as determined in any manner which is reasonable. (2) The measure of damages for breach of warranty is the difference at the time and place of acceptance between the value of the goods accepted and the value they would have had if they had been as warranted, unless special circumstances show proximate damages of a different amount. (3) In a proper case any incidental and consequential damages under the next section may also be recovered.
