Swanson Authorized Distributor and Warranty Statement
Swanson is firmly committed to providing our customers with safe and reliable products through authorized dealers. Unfortunately, Swanson products are sometimes sold by companies that are not authorized to do so. Goods sold by these unauthorized companies may not always be purchased from Swanson. Due to the nature of the goods sold by unauthorized distributors and their business practices, products sold by unauthorized distributors are not entitled to Swanson warranty coverage. We are using our best efforts (including this warning) to prohibit these companies from taking advantage of consumers, but these practices still exist. We urge you to use diligence when selecting a dealer to make your purchase.
Our policy is to honor product warranties only on products purchased from Swanson, or an authorized Swanson dealer and only accompanied by a receipt or proof of purchase. If you purchase a Swanson product from an unauthorized dealer or if the original serial number has been removed, defaced or altered, your Swanson warranty will not be valid.
Online Sellers
A further note about online sellers (particularly those on Amazon.com or Ebay.com): Many resellers who sell through Amazon.com and Ebay.com are not authorized resellers of Swanson products. When purchasing Swanson products on Amazon.com or Ebay.com, it is important to note where the product is being "shipped from and sold by," which is stated clearly in the header for each product. Authorized Swanson products are sold and shipped directly from Swanson.
Swanson products sold by unauthorized dealers sometimes are purchased on a secondary "gray" market and can be pirated goods not produced by Swanson, damaged, defective or so-called "B" stock goods, or stolen goods.
Beware of Counterfeit Swanson Products
Like many premium goods, Swanson products are being duplicated or stolen and sold, usually at drastically reduced prices and diminished quality. These products do not meet Swanson standards and are not covered under Swanson warranty. If you would like to report a suspected counterfeit Swanson product or have questions concerning this issue, please contact Customer Service at 1-800-824-4491. We appreciate your help in maintaining the integrity of the Swanson brand.
Beware of Other Product Package Alterations
Many times, products from unauthorized reseller have serial numbers that have been changed or even removed all together. Some products are marked with false “Use By” or Expiry Dates. Any Swanson product that does not have a serial number issued by Swanson should be returned. Removal or alteration of the original Swanson serial number will automatically void the warranty on that product.
