Has anyone had this happen with their cookware. I had someone email me about this. She said that her mother purchased the entire set 5 years ago and the skillet and one other piece is now flaking. Return it. Not a problem.However, she doesn't know the consultants name and she does not have a receipt. On one hand , I feel bad because it is supposed to have a lifetime coverage. On the other hand, she can't produce any info to prove that she really purchased it. Who knows?? What should be done in this instance? I don't think that HO will honor it just on her say so? Should I offer her a discount if she wants to purchase cookware again? Is there a way to put a positive spin on this?
