Thanks, Natasha. 382 products now - wow!
If you bought a significant amount of those items and are not a day's drive from the store where you purchased them, if I were you I would return them. For me, it would not be about needing the 'refund' per se but I think there should be some tangible financial and statistical impact on the company (aside from having to .. one hopes .. stop production/shipping, etc. till they figure out if the problem is resolved) - and if you just throw them away, there is little to no feedback or accounting in theory directly from the consumer end.
