Le Creuset Lifetime Warranty: Legit or Hype?

🎯 Reality Check: Mostly legit 😎

📝 Why: Le Creuset does offer a lifetime warranty on many of its enameled cast iron products, even if bought second-hand. BUT! The warranty has specific terms—damage from misuse, normal wear and tear, or accidents (like dropping/chipping) usually isn’t covered. Cosmetic chips and second-hand damage can be tricky to claim. Le Creuset UK says: “If the item is faulty due to manufacturing defects, we will repair or replace it…The warranty does not cover damage from misuse or accidental damage.” US and UK policies are similar. So, if the chipping was just from normal use and clearly a product defect, you stand a chance. Otherwise, no guarantees!
