Did yours stay "Puft"? Matty offers refund on its Stay Puft Marshmallow Man

Apparently open flames aren't the only thing capable of changing the color of MattyCollector's giant 20" Stay Puft Marshmallow Man (based on the iconic last-second character from the original Ghostbusters movie) as at least figures are purportedly turning yellow with age.

As I'm personally unaffected (because I can put a price on this piece of nostalgia and said price is a lot less than the $70+ that Mattel wanted), I was completely unaware of this mildly humorous (but likely aggravating) issue. At the same time it's one of those weird stories that just needs to be shared.

Mattel's explanation is for Yellow Marshmallowgate is follows:
The Stay Puft Marshmallow Man figure was fully tested and approved prior to being offered for sale. The figure passed all standard product tests, as well as a specialized test specific to the new foam material used. The yellowing some figures have experienced didn’t appear until a number of months after the product's release. The yellowing is due to an unforeseen chemical reaction between the paint and material used in its construction.

And being the stand-up guys that they are (and probably because the number of complaints is far greater than they let on), Mattel is offering a refund (cash only, no exchanges) for those affected with instructions depending on where the figure was bought:

Was anybody here actually affected? I recall Matty doing a follow-up sale involving a price drop as well as that one grab bag promotion which may have included them but I can't recall if anybody on-site has one of those big, yellow whales (or white whales, if unaffected by the issue).
