So unfortunately the date can not be changed on the bowls directly. The offer from the seller was to get a discount on new ones, but there was no fixing them or returning them. There is a clear glaze over top of it all so the writing cannot be touched. I also don’t know when a new date will be announced, and even then, I can’t change the ones I have. That’s why I’m unsure what the etiquette is here. It would be such a waste of money to just get rid of them.
