Help, new garden furniture rusted after 3 weeks!

Hi, apologies if this is in the wrong place, but i wasn't sure where to put it. I bought a bistro set comprising of two chairs and a table three weeks ago and while i was sat in it earlier i noticed that it is starting to go rusty around the seams. It is made from powder coated steel and while i realise that this will rust eventually i didn't expect it after three weeks! I'm unsure of what to do next, do you think i could go back to the retailer and demand a replacement or i should i try some hammerite around the rusty seals? What i don't want to happen is to put the hammerite on and then find it just rusts in other places. Any advice would be appreciated as i don't have clue what to do for the best.

  • Go back to the retailer and tell them it isn't fit for purpose under the sale of goods act. Surely rusting that quickly wouldn't be of acceptable quality?
