"I've never trusted Kmart products like this"

A different group member shared, “I had a wok type dish with lid and the lid shattered into my meal also from Kmart. Didn’t get anything back as I didn’t have my receipt as it was over a year old.”

“Oh geez, scary! I've never trusted Kmart products like this,” revealed one woman. “I always buy quality cookware and it lasts forever!”

Someone else asked: “Has it damaged your floor?” to which Tricia replied, “Yep, there are dents.”

Someone else concluded: “Sorry to say but after using it for over a year, it would probably be put down to wear and tear unless it has a warranty of longer than a year.”
