They didn't cover it due to normal wear and tear. Reasonable I guess but sort of wished they had.
Actually makes me feel better about the regular Blue Kazoo I bought back in '74. It was marked down as a factory second and has the 'o' in NF blacked out to make it clear it's not eligible for the warranty. Mine has almost the original amount of loft and I still use it in freezing conditions. But I sometimes wondered if it would have been better to get one with the warranty since mine will certainly start to fail at some point.
