Last year I re-caulked the counter tops in the kitchen, now a year later all the caulking has started to turn yellow.
I used Kitchen and bath white silicone caulking, guaranteed not to mold, mildew are change color. I don't know the brand. What went wrong ? Thanks |

You believed their claims and didnt keep the receipt so you now can't hold their feet to the fire and make them do a full refund and pay for your wasted time. |

They will just mail you a coupon for a free tube of caulk. I just went through this with Duracell on their "10 year battery". A sealed package was full of white powder and goo in about 6. |

They will just mail you a coupon for a free tube of caulk. Not necessarily. Someone here had their high end Sony TV fail in a few years, 3 or something and initially had Sony offer them a discount on a replacement. When he rubbed their nose in the fact that our consumer law requires them to do much better than that, he got a brand new latest model from Sony for free. I just went through this with Duracell on their "10 year battery". A sealed package was full of white powder and goo in about 6. They have to pay for a new device if the battery ****ed that. |

This isn't a TV but the coupons they send will cover the full retail cost of stuff like batteries or caulk. I just went through this with Duracell on their "10 year battery". A sealed package was full of white powder and goo in about 6. They have to pay for a new device if the battery ****ed that. Maybe, good luck with that if it is something expensive but in my case, these were still in the bubble card. No product was involved. I really think the battery people have softened that guarantee to replace anything their battery screws up because they all leak. I find little difference between the name brands or the store brand at places like Costco. My guess is a couple of factories in Asia make them all. |

![]() it supposedly was 100% silicon white for kitchen and ... Never thought it would yellow like that. Almost acts like the product was miss-labeled ? |
