Troubleshooting an Older Spatula Handle Issue

In summary, the most common issue with older spatula handles is cracking or splitting, which can make them difficult to use and potentially unsafe. While it is possible to temporarily repair a cracked or split handle, it is recommended to prevent cracking by avoiding extreme temperatures and proper cleaning and drying. Discoloration is normal over time, but if accompanied by cracking, the handle may need to be replaced. It is not safe to continue using a spatula with a cracked handle and it is best to replace it if necessary.

Does anyone remember having problems with the handle coming off any of the older spatulas? My mom's friend has one that came off & I'm trying to figure out which one & if it would be a warranty item.
 
I think she might be referring to the min-serving spatulas. I had several that I had to get replaced, funny, mine never came apart!
 
I have not had a problem with mine but i had a customer saturday that was ordering a new one because her handle came off her older one. And said that she knew off a few others that had the same problem. I have replaced a few in the past as well.
 
The mini-serving spatula handle came off mine. I haven't had any others that I know of returned but I like the new style much better anyway.
 
I've had a few customers who have had the handles come off the large serving spatula.
 
I had a customer who melted the handle on a large serving spatula. She apparently missed the word "serving" in the name, and had been using it to cook with (I think in non-stick cookware, too). She left it sitting in the pan and then wondered why the handle melted. Luckily, when I told her that it wasn't really designed for that, she was OK with it and admitted it was her fault. If I remember correctly, she ordered the Small Nylon Turner to use instead.
