I was referring to Rubbermaid. They also guarantee their products for
life (excluding mistreatment, of course). In fact, they were quite
courteous are are willing to replace my 2 containers. I say, wow.

The person also explained that the plastic was a form of polythylene
(LDPE). I confirmed this at
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resin_identification_code (the
recycling symbol contains the number 4). The problems with sweating
plastic doesn't seem to be associated with LDPE, at least so far as
I've googled; instead, they are associated polyvinyl chloride.
