I was under the impression that under the law a warranty must be honored
whether or not you've sent in the warranty card the accompanies a new
product. Is that correct? I'm in Illinois.

I have always assumed you are correct.
I never send them in, and have never had a problem with the warranty being
honored.

Don't actually know the law though; but you can always say you sent it in,
they can't make it contingent on their receiving it since that is out of
your hands. You did send it in, didn't you!
