Tupperware Corporation Complaint - Defective chrome-plating - Heavy-duty chrome-plated ice cream scoop with plastic handle

Heavy-duty chrome-plated ice cream scoop with plastic handle - Complaint

Review by neverbuyagainever on 2010-01-22

ORLANDO, FLORIDA -- I have purchased many Tupperware items over the years and have enjoyed them all until now. Recently the ice cream scoop I own (3 yrs) with chrome-plating on the scoop itself has started deteriorating. The chrome has become acne-like and little pieces of the chrome are coming off. I am not going to buy anymore Tupperware products since I attempted to reach the Tupperware Corporation with no resolution. How can a company claim they have quality products if they aren't willing to stand behind them. Thanks for nothing.

Wow. Have you tried to contact a rep for Tupperware instead of corporate?

How long do you think a warranty should be on an ice cream scoop?

If you have two identical scoops of ice cream, would that be an Ice Cream Clone?

Read the review/directions by the Tupperware manager here. She very specifically reminds folks the scoop is NOT dishwasher safe and MUST be washed immediately because the lactic acid is dairy products will cause pitting.

Tupperware items are not cheap-even being a consultant myself it wasn't. She should be able to contact her local rep (or someone) to have it replaced. The most she would pay would be for shipping. Other than doing what Raven mentioned, it should last longer than the 3 years.

O.oooo you guys helped me remember I have to call my consultant. SOMEONE set a lid on a still-warm stove burner this weekend.

Also living in such high humidity doesn't help. I grew up on Long Island and the humidity and salt ruins everything.
