@claires My daughters have some of your products being recalled for asbestos. My grandfather and great uncle both died from asbestos. I am throwing the products out today. How do I get a refund? I did not save my receipts because I didn’t think I would need them.. thanks.

After Warner’s findings became public, the company announced they are now conducting their own internal investigation announcing, “We have retained an independent laboratory to test the cited products in order to determine whether the recent news reports are accurate. In the interim we have stopped sales of the products and are issuing full refunds to concerned customers. As always, the safety of our customers and products is our top priority.”
