How Does It Work

[nicebloke1]

If you buy a saucepan set that has a lifetime guarantee, does the guarantee run out whatever age you die?

Will it matter to you?

Quote:
"A lifetime warranty is a guarantee that a manufacturer will repair or replace any defective parts for their products and comes at no additional cost. The “lifetime” may reference the suggested lifetime of the product (when used as intended), or the time that the product is in production (or some years after that date). It rarely means the lifetime of the buyer".

I bought a pressure cooker made by Prestige with a lifetime guarantee.  When the gasket needed replacing they were no longer available, pressure cooker turned in to a lidless stockpot and Prestige said the pressure cooker had come to the end of its life
