The guarantee info is in the catalog (we do not offer warranties). Pinch Bowls are guaranteed for 5 years. But if she let one get down the garbage disposal, that is not covered.
 
According to the "certificate of guarantee" on the back of the reciept, "Misuse or use contrary to the Use and Care instructions will void this guarantee."

I just had a similar situation, where a customer put the Ice Cream Dipper in the dishwasher after her first use.

Thanks!! (I get the warranty and guarantee lingo confused!)

We (the host and I both) did not think so, but it was worth a shot to ask!

Hi Trina,Thank you for reaching out about the warranty information for our pinch bowls. Our pinch bowls are covered under our limited lifetime warranty, which means they are guaranteed to be free from defects in material and workmanship for the lifetime of the product. However, this warranty does not cover accidental damage, such as being attacked by a garbage disposal.I'm sorry to hear that your host's baby pinch bowl was damaged in this way. Unfortunately, we would not be able to replace it under our warranty. However, we do offer a one-time replacement for damaged products at a discounted price. Please let me know if your host is interested in taking advantage of this option.Thank you for your understanding and I hope this helps clarify our warranty policy for pinch bowls. Please feel free to reach out with any further questions or concerns.Best,

Pampered Chef Consultant
