"Now more than ever consumers are looking for products that work and are worth their money. Our Lab experts stand behind all of our Seal holding products (and their claims), and we back each one with our signature limited warranty. If an item with the GH Seal does not live up to its promise, our team will help fix the issue - on our dime."
