wheel chocks with an expiration date ????
Went in a while back to Walmart to get an extra pair of chocks for my car hauling trailer, and they had the Camco yellow ones. After getting them home, I noticed a molded-in "replace by 06 2016" statement.
Now wait a minute - in all my born days, and quite a few plastic wheel chocks, I have never seen any with an expiration date before. What in the world . . . . . Are they trying to tell me that these are made of something that will deteriorate over a specific time period - a sort of self destruct by June of 2016 ?
Maybe I'm just a bit old fashioned, but once made, I always considered a wheel chock to last more or less indefinitely, unless damaged. Emailed Camco on the subject, but got no response. Anyone out there care to comment on this ?
