Hiccapop tip
Past the 90-day window, Hiccapop's Lifetime Guarantee kicks in for manufacturing defects and even accidental damage — just keep the broken item until a replacement is confirmed, since discarding it before then can void the claim.
Nuby tip
Contact customer service before returning anything damaged or defective - doing so gets you a prepaid label, while a standard return you initiate yourself means paying your own shipping.
