Clearly a manufacturing defect. I'd call Thermoworks right away!

Maybe a warranty issue but if it were a Combustion thermometer definitely not. They haven’t covered under warranty the thermometers that my wife accidentally threw out in the trash on two separate occasions. 🙂

I have put my RFX probes through a lot of torture. And they survived without a scratch. But I didn't think of putting one in the disposal. Clearly, the RFX met its match in the disposal.
