Hello DavidW, Sarina here with Nexgrill Industries. I apologize to hear about the welding of the handle coming loose from the tray. We do provide a manufacture warranty in the event you kept the product or exchanged it for a new one. I hope that we were able to accommodate you hassle free. Should you feel the need to report important feedback, please contact me directly by email at Sarina_Chavira@grillservices.com -Happy Grilling!
