You can ask them and see what they say but they will likely put it down to accidental damage.

You could try looking online to see if there are any other complaints regarding this table to see if there is any basis for not fit for purpose.

What thickness is the glass? And what size is the table?
Is there anywhere in on the surface or edge of the glass that says 'Tempered'?

Glass tables are fragile, and a 'point load' (ie a corner of a square plate) can cause the glass to shatter.... Try 'Very' first, but id be surprised if they say anything other than accidental damage...

If I had young children I wouldn't have a glass table. But to answer your question I would write to very advising that it was in your opinion 'Not Fit for Purpose' and take it from there.
