This of course is a joke for those of us that are old enough to remember the J.C. PENNEY Battery with the Lifetime warranty. THOSE WHERE THE DAYS!!

I bought Corell Livingware with the lifetime warrantee 40 years ago. Took them with me full time RVing and a whipsaw event cast most of them onto the floor in a disaster of smashed plates. NO ONE wanted to honor the warranty...even with a receipt. Tried several stores, even was met with silence from Corell. Heh. Guess they didn't expect anyone to keep them that long or something.
Just my thoughts but the lifetime warranty may not consider "whipsaw events" as a warranted type of product failure, unless they were in use at the time of the failure. Most warranties don't cover loss due to accidental damage. That would be an insurance claim.
I would feel pretty silly going in and telling them the dishes were broken because of intentional damage, rather than accidental. :)
You'd be surprised what some people tell either the warrantor or their insurer, when explaining their circumstances. Intentional damage (certain tools come to mind) may be covered in some cases. It pays (literally) to have your ducks in a row, before you make the phone call.;)
