I don’t know where you live, but the lifetime guarantee (on most products) applies in all countries where Tupperware is sold. If you have a broken container or seal, your consultant MUST take care of it for you. It costs him/her nothing. If you’re having a problem with a consultant, find the local “Distributor” or Director, and pursue it that way. You can find Tupperware consultants in your country on the company website: http://www.tupperware.com. Good luck!

I am just reading your interesting comments about TW. I have lots of them. The only problem we have here is that it is very difficult to change our damaged boxes and more often broken lids. The agents are reluctant to take them. Is that normal? As far as I know when presenting the items the agents always say it is lifetime products. I find it unfair that they want only to sell new products and no customer care for defective ones.

I have several broken pieces of tupperware but do not know how to get them replaced. I use tupperware daily and still feel like TW is a valuable product even after 45 years of using it.

This IS AWESOME!!!
Side note: Now Neil, this is the kind of thing we’re all talking about! And in the end, just where will inquiring minds such as these have to go?!* Miles high unanswered questions across the universe would take up space. All due respect, I have one now: Do other Super-hero’s ever just stop being super-hero’s? Cuz that’s what you truly are:)

Hi Dorothy. I know exactly what you’re talking about. It was called the Watercolor Salad/Punch Bowl. Unfortunately, we haven’t had it for a long time, although it’s been back in different colors over the years.

We do have a new acrylic set now, called “Ice Prisms”. The largest bowl isn’t as big, but it is really pretty. It looks like crystal. We do have some big bowls, which are great for large salads, even though they’re not as pretty for serving. They’re called “Thatsa Bowl” (32 cups) and “Thatsa Mega Bowl” (42 cups). They’re the same size around as the old Fix ‘N Mix bowl—-it was yellow back in the ’80s. Green before that, and white before that!

I had an ex-large blue acrylic salad bowl with clear lid, mistakenly took huge salad to work for all. Bowl disappeared and I have not been able to relace it. I have tried different sales people but to no avail. I looooved that bowl…HELP! Thanks, Dot

Evidently, this CEO is defending the product that makes his living. Someone believing such a speech, or believes in a written statement to defend their product, such as from Mr. Rick Goings, and has a financial interest in a product, saying the product is not dangerous, is not quite all there. He believes in it, but why should you? The believer has their heads in the clouds. ALL PLASTIC is made from petrochemicals, including Tupperware. It is O K to own Tupperware, but not to store food or any food products. And, as stated in an earlier blog, never-ever put food into a plastic container—not even the ones purchased in plastic from a grocer—in a microwave. It has been proven that petrochemicals are harmful to the liver, are hormone disruptors, and cause other health problems including some people have a problem losing weight when they are exposed to plastic in their food. Please watch a movie called “Bag It”. This is a documentary on plastics in our society. It may be found on PBS.com.

Many people do not wish to change their lifestyles because plastic makes it easier on them. Those are the ones that are in denial of the harm these plastics are doing, and can do to their children, babies, children under 7 because of their immune systems not fully developed especially completely in full adult form, the elderly, chronically ill people, and those people in hospitals trying to get over an illness, and plastic is used there as well. Others just don’t know any better. But when we know better, we should do better.

We, all need to come together to help change our society in the way we view our products. A person can get tested by a toxicologist on the level of chemicals from plastics in their body. It is costly, however.

There has been a lot of research in what plastics are doing to our bodies, to the oceans, to the fish, and birds of this great earth of ours. I still have Tupperware from the ’70′s but I use only glass Pyrex or Corning Ware to store food in them or to cook. I own a big sun yellow TW bowl I have clay in, and it works fine to store clay.

Worse yet, is Styrofoam.products. Styrene is the toxin in Styrofoam, and has been banned in over 100 cities nationwide the last I heard about this banning. Remember when you drink out of that Styrofoam cup the buildup it is doing to the human body, or the take out plate in the restaurant. There are alternatives. We have to get together as a single person in these business’, to tell them we refuse to accept such toxins, and ask them to purchase the paper cups, the paper boxes. If every person stood up on what they wish to have done–one-by-one- we could see safer products used on our foods and drinks. Go to Whole Foods, and you will see the Deli put food into safe containers. All of the other places can do the same.
