The picture indicates to replace by 2012? Is this an old picture of the product? What is the expiration date on the ones you have in shock?

The expiration date printed on the face of the unit you receive IS the required REPLACEMENT DATE (which is approximately 5 years after manufacture). The displayed date is much akin to the expiration date on food. If the unit you bought displays a date sooner than 5 years future, the device has been sitting on the shelf for that difference in time.

The expiration date is the date the product is no longer good if that is what you are asking

I ordered some after reading about the issue but mine are fine (many years) so I suspect the expire issue is over. Worse case is having to return them but I doubt that will happen.

If the box or bottle says that, they are definitely out of date. Return anything out of date and notify Amazon. Amazon enforces its standards. If you are referring to a picture in an ad, it's just old copy. Everything I have bought has been new and their prices are the lowest. I hope this helps.

For some reason, all the sellers want to avoid making promises about expiration dates, ... but the "200" pack that I bought, had over a year left on them.And frankly, ... I've used some that were 2 or 3 years "out of date", ... that still worked just fine, ... so I don't worry too much about dates, anymore.

Mine has a number which doesn't specify whether it is an expiration date or not. This number is 07 16. In any case I don't pay much attention to this because the last one I used was way past any date and it still worked just fine.

Same here. No idea if it's legit. Mine mentioned the year 2009 which is pretty disappointing. I searched on the part number printed on them "34-8702-9702-4" without finding anything. Actually printed on the filter is only "high performance filter" which matches neither the pictured description or the "premium healthy living". Mine also have numerous holes (about every square inch) in the plastic cover. Makes me wonder how well they've aged since 2009 exposed to air. There's also a suspicious sticker over a barcode (51141-90101). I couldn't remove the sticker without destroying the barcode, but it's just transparent enough under a bright light to read it.

I have no idea what the expiration date is on the ones that Amazon is selling now.

Sorry, Will, bought these months ago... I opened and used them in my ancient calculator (1980?), threw away the package. All I can say is, did look at exp. date, and they were not expired.

They had a year or more before they expired when i bought them last year. Iff the expiration date is not good they will take them right back and pay the shipping for you. That is why i order from amazon.

when you say older version is it the photo to the right? That is OLD and you should send it back!! They haven't made that label in a long time! I hope you follow through becuase that is going to be worthless. Does it have an expiration date on the bottle?

my container looks different too. Must be the 'new' look. My expiration date is on the bottom of the jar. 11-2016

Hello. To be honest, I didn't check the expiration date on mine, but I will tell you that I purchased them about a year ago and they are still working just fine. Hope this helps. :)

When I ordered the one that came wasn't expired. I think it's just an old picture.

Same with me. The expiration date is in the brown part so you wouldn't be able to see it on the picture.
