What is covered by the Made Right limited lifetime warranty?
 
The Made Right lifetime limited warranty covers normal household use—if your enameled cast iron chips, cracks, or is otherwise damaged during cooking, we’ll replace it. If your cookware arrives damaged in its container, we’ll also replace it.
 
What is not covered by the Made Right limited lifetime warranty?
 
Because we cannot control the quality of cookware sold by unauthorized sellers, this warranty applies only to products that were purchased from us or an authorized seller in the United States, unless otherwise prohibited by law. We reserve the right to reject warranty claims for products purchased from unauthorized sellers, including unauthorized internet sites. If you have any questions about whether a seller is authorized, please contact us using the contact details below.

The Made Right lifetime limited warranty does not include damage from use in commercial establishments, accidents, drops, mishandling, misuse, negligence, neglect, alteration to the product, overheating, or any use inconsistent with the directions included with the cookware. As a consumer product subject to high temperatures, some changes in color of interior and exterior surface finishes may occur. This is not a flaw and is not covered under the lifetime limited warranty. Damage caused by melted items, or other external sources and residues left on the surfaces from the use of abrasive cleaners or polishes, also is not covered. Small cosmetic blemishes inherent to sand casting and hand finishing which don’t affect the performance of the cookware are not covered. Normal wear and tear, including but not limited to color defects, rust, staining, scuffing, powdery surfaces, or rough surfaces—either within the cookware or on the outside—are not covered under warranty.

There are no warranties which extend beyond those stated herein. ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES THAT MAY BE APPLICABLE TO PRODUCTS, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ARE LIMITED IN DURATION TO THE DURATION OF THIS WARRANTY. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHALL LODGE BE LIABLE FOR ANY SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES BASED UPON BREACH OF THIS LIFETIME LIMITED WARRANTY, BREACH OF CONTRACT, OR STRICT LIABILITY. Some States do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, or the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitations or exclusions may not apply to you.
 
Can the Made Right limited lifetime warranty be voided?
 
Yes. For this warranty to apply, the owner must follow the use and care instructions provided with the product. Further, here are a few things not to do with your enameled cast iron cookware, which void the warranty: 

• Do not heat empty enameled cookware on the stovetop. 
• Do not use metal utensils—they can scratch the cookware surface.
• Do not use citrus-based cleaners as they can dull the exterior gloss; note that this does include some detergents.
• Do not stack your enameled cookware; instead, use pot protectors or cookware protectors to pad pieces and avoid chipping.
• Do not use enameled cookware on campfires or in microwaves.
• Do not use enameled cookware on heat sources that can’t be easily controlled; for example, outdoor charcoal or wood pellet grills.

What is covered by the Made Right limited lifetime warranty?
 
The Made Right lifetime limited warranty covers normal household use—if your seasoned cast iron or carbon steel cracks or warps, we’ll replace it. If your cookware arrives in its shipping container damaged, we’ll also replace it.

The Made Right lifetime limited warranty also covers quality issues that impact cooking and use. Lodge cookware undergoes rigorous quality reviews before leaving our Foundry, but in the small chance that you receive a product with excessive grind or chatter marks that inhibit cookware performance, holes in the casting, metallic projections, or other casting defects, these items are covered by the Made Right lifetime limited warranty.
