I recently ran into this issue with a coffee pot. I was specifically hunting for a coffee pot with an adjustable temperature warmer. Ordered one that specifically stated that in the description, only to receive a coffee pot that did not have that feature. Checked the model number on the box versus the listing, and it's the same. Then I saw the fine print: we are not responsible for inaccurate product information.

Too fucking right, send the fucker back
