      ********* model fm2100 uses green barbed jar accessory connector that breaks easily. 3 replacements needed in 6 months (see photo).Foodsaver refuses to send me another replacement hose at this point after sending 2 already.Per AI ****** search: The most common issue reported with FoodSaver accessory port hoses is that the "green" end that connects to the FoodSaver body breaks or cracks easily due to the constant flexing. Some users also experience difficulty finding the correct hose attachment on the website, with some finding it to be a hassle.

      ********* *****see any code. A fourth and possibly fifth *** were equally unhelpful. During my chats, ***s did explain that their policy always excluded clearance items as stated on their website. However, on multiple previous occasions, I have made purchases of clearance priced candles that were eligible for sales promotions. I looked forward to these sales in particular. Regardless, I merely asked that Yankee Candle honor their promotion AS STATED on their advertisement. Each *** referred to their email promotions and that they clearly stated that exclusions applied. When I reiterated that I had not received any email promotions but rather a promotion via text, I was asked to provide a screenshot of the text. I complied each time. And although the text clearly states that ALL candles are 40% off, I was unable to receive that discount. I also spoke with ***s and a supervisor by Messenger, phone, and email. I was told ** was fully transparent. These ads are false and misleading. I expect ** to honor their ad.

      I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and find that this resolution is satisfactory to me.  They issued a check refund that I am supposed to receive.  While it does not really address my need for the piece for my infant child to sit in the stroller in her car seat, I feel as I can make it work for now.

      I am still disappointed that item is not in stock with no re-stock date, but I do feel like to this point they have worked with my complaint.  I'm now just waiting the check.

      Sharpie pens are going under the name of Newell Office Brands, which is misleading and very hard to find on the packaging. Sharpie pens are being sold without enough ink to last 2 months of only sporadic use. Defective quality control. This is why I don't buy the off brand. I don't expect Sharpie to be defective. This is happening time and time again. To pay 1.99 in Jan 2025 at ****** only to have the Sharpie pens unusable is a poor business practice. I would like a refund of 1.99 plus tax or a replacement # 0 ********** 7 2 COUNT. I am over 81 years old and I cannot get to the store (Target) to replace the pens)

      It is not like your crockpot is overly used or abused there is only two retirees in the household. If there is a ongoing problem with the functionality of this model the warranty should be extended. If the same model keeps breaking within a very short time frame there is a problem. No one can afford replacing this product every 2 yrs if the quality in your product is not upto standards.

      Thank you for reaching out to notify us of this complaint. We regret to hear that the consumer's slow cooker is no longer functioning. Regarding the ********* brand of products, ********************** provides a warranty to the original end-user purchaser, guaranteeing that ********* branded products will be free from manufacturing defects for one year from the date of purchase or delivery (whichever occurs later), provided they are used normally and cared for according to the brand's instructions. **************** requires proof of purchase. The original unit's warranty transfers to any replacement issued during the warranty period, and coverage does not reset with the replacement product. For more details about the warranty, please refer to the link below:

      ******************************************

      We confirm that the consumer initiated a warranty claim in January 2023, resulting in a replacement slow cooker being sent to her at no charge on 1/10/23. On 2/17/25, the consumer submitted a new warranty claim for the replacement unit that was provided to her under warranty two years ago. Unfortunately, this claim was denied, as the replacement product is no longer covered under warranty. If the consumer has any further questions, we encourage her to reach back out to us via the open internal case.

      Business Response

      Date: 04/04/2025

      We are sorry to hear that the consumer has rejected our response. We appreciate this thoughtful feedback. Please know that we stand behind the quality and reliability of our products, and our warranty policies are designed to ensure reliability and peace of mind for all our consumers. As there is no practical way to document individual usage, the duration of the warranty is determined based on various factors, including materials, manufacturing processes, and industry standards, rather than frequency of use. We apologize for any ongoing frustrations. 

      Customer Answer

      Date: 04/04/2025

       If you stand behind your product as stated then replace this faulty unit. I have purchased numerous crockpots in the past and have never had problems like this with this model.

      As a baby registry gift for my first back in 2020 I purchased the city select 2 stroller as it is advertised to grow with your family. Basically you purchase adapters and then various seats or bassinets for your children. However, as of a year or so ago they no longer have the adapters necessary to purchase unless you purchase a big item with it. Its not that they are out of stock of the item but that you need to spend $250+ instead of $35. I feel this breaks the *** act as it is deceptive in nature. Online there are a lot of discourse around the topic and a lot of people have fallen victim to this false promise to be able to grow the stroller with your family. I just want to purchase the adapters only which are available with other kits but somehow they claim none are in stock nor do they have an eta date on them being available. I know its just a Ponzi scheme
