Our Warranty
Warranty
LifeStraw takes pride in the products we make and stand by the quality, materials and workmanship of our products. All LifeStraw products and parts (excluding LifeStraw Carbon Filters) are warranted to be free from defects in material and workmanship for a period of 3 years.
LifeStraw 3-Year Limited Warranty
