I have had 2 of these returns over the past 3 years...I think sometimes the handle gets dried out (the plastic) and cracks. The ones I have seen were not repairable...one was under warranty, and one was WAY OLD. I guess if the handle just slid off the spatula, you could put some epoxy glue in there and shove the spatula back in there. But, the ones I have seen didn't do that...the handle kindof broke OFF.
