Does a 'lifetime guarantee' really mean for life?

About this episode

In this age of responsible and measured consumption, we’re tending to turn more and more towards products with a long lifespan and a good guarantee. In fact, you’ve probably already seen this on a cast-iron saucepan, a bicycle or even household appliances, promising a lifetime guarantee. But the terms and conditions of this promise are not always very clear. Therefore, it’s important to understand the difference between a genuine and a fake lifetime guarantee, and how to spot the signs of trust and transparency from brands.  What does it mean legally speaking? Can I have my product repaired until I die? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!
