Recalled Fitness Balls!

The ball I bought two years ago had a puncture in it...because of kids but it was one of these mentioned below. Can I still get a refund even though it is long gone and failed because the kids used it as a soccer ball?

I can see this totally happening to me with my new one. LOL!
