I had a host have two of these on an show. She said the lids seemed warped and wouldn't fit. I wondered if she might have not been putting them on right. However, when I got there to look at them they do seem to be warped and when I can get the lid on (which isn't often) they pop off if I barely touch it. I'm going to submit a product adjustment but I am worried the others will be like this. Anyone ever had this happen before? Thanks!
God bless,
Amanda

No, they just came the other day in her show shipment. Two of them were the same way. Hopefully the new ones will be better. I just couldn't figure out why they were like that.
 
Hmm...how odd, I hope they don't have a bad batch going...
 
I sell alot and have one myself and have never had a problem. Maybe it was just a bad lot of them.
 
both of mine are over 10 years old and I use the multiple times a week. Get them replaced.
 
if you have a problem with the replacements check the tabs. I had a problem with mine and it was the tabs...they were bent so they didn't grab onto the side correctly.

Thanks everyone! They're sending replacements. Hopefully they'll be better.

Shawnna, were you able to fix them somehow then?
