Does the yellow-green plastic age with exposure to the sun? Does it became brittle after one season? Please speak to research on this potential defect

The plastic "tube," which is injection molded in our factory in Washington State, is made from acrylic plastic with a UV package to prevent sun erosion. It can be used multiple seasons and we hear from consumers about how they reuse this trap year after year. We follow a multi step quality assurance protocol in our factory to make sure you receive the best quality product. However, if you feel you received a defective product, I suggest you return it to the store where you purchased it.
