I purchased a Brookstone heated blanket in a target store. It was advertised as having a 5 year warranty. In less than a year the blanket stopped working. I contacted Brookstone for repair/replacement and was told that the manufacturer had gone out of business and they would not honor the warranty. However, they stated they had communicated with target to allow an extended return period for replacement. I contacted target 800 number whom refused to assist and said I needed to contact Brookstone. Brookstone is not assisting in the warranty for their product.Initial Complaint

I spoke to customer service regarding fit for someone my weight and height. They said I would fit. I purchased the chair on 2/12/2023. If I did not like it for any reason, the 250 shipping and 250 return are nonrefundable.The chair started causing immediate problems. The settings were unpredictable, and the foot massager caused damage to my feet. The pressure from the airbags pressed my feed so hard against the rollers that it was hard to work on my feet, something like fasciitis. Also, the enclosed foot massager is small, pushing my foot against the front and causing nail damage. Because I have diabetic feet, I did not feel it and later discovered the injury when my shoe filled with blood. This item is not safe and did not perform to the specifications of a user my size, causing injury. ********************** sis responsible for this defective item and I should get a complete refund.Initial Complaint

Good afternoon,
Please note I have also continued to attempt to reach them but have also had no response from them. I've notified my bank of your update as well as they have begun to dispute the charge with **** but as of right now we remain without a refund and without a response from Brookstone.

I purchased two cameras from Brookstone online I gave my address. The first camera was delivered to the wrong address. I was told to go to the wrong address to see if the people that lived there had my camera. I did. They had my camera. The second camera never came. Because Brookstone would not change my address, I was not going back to that wrong address to see if they had my 2nd camera. I asked for a refund. I told that my account had been compromised and I had to get a new card. Brookstone would in addition to not changing my address in their records which happens to be my billing address, they would not change my card number so that I would receive my refund or refund check.Customer response

This was a gift i received back in June. I just opened the box, and the product appears damaged. I contacted the company with my concerns..(power displaced making it hard to power on and off. Also, I've notice that it automatically come on! Does that mean there's an electrical shortage? I opened the box on 19 Dec 23 and that's when the discrepancies were noticed. I emailed customer service and basically their response was they could not help me. Again this was a gift and i simply wanted a replacement. Please see response from Customer service. Dear *****, Thank you for contacting Brookstone Online! Unfortunately, this product is not carried by Brookstone Online, nor do we hold the warranty. You will need to reach out to the seller for assistance with warranty returns/exchanges. Our apologies for the inconvenience. Kind Regards, Customer Service Brookstone Online 888-454-9752Initial Complaint

My daughter purchased the Spa Body Massager with the attachments - brush, scrubber, pumice, etc. for my Mother's Day gift. The unit will not open to replace the batteries and is now inoperable. I simply wanted to exchange the Spa Body Massager for another one. I phone Brookstone customer service on June 1, 2023 @ approximately at ###-###-#### and spoke with Customer Representative Charlotte. Charlotte was very rude and begin telling me how Brookstone was in bankrupts and that she would not replace the Spa Massager with the attachments. I requested a supervisor, and Charlotte refused to allow me to speak with a supervisor or manager. She continued to ramp and rave about Brookstone was in bankruptcy and they sold the company which I had no idea of what that had to do with the Spa Massager not working and a replacement requested. I continuously requested a Supervisor but Charlotte refused to allow me to speak with management. In fact, she told me that I would not speak with management and there was no managers or supervisors available. Then Charlotte went on to tell me that the product was not their product even though the product has BROOKSTONE name on it. I simply would like to exchange the Spa Massager for another one. I could not believe that Brookstone does not have managers or supervisors in their Customer Service Department to assist their customers with a simple exchange or replacement.Initial Complaint
