Defective Inkjet cartridge return/replacement

[MGWeir]

I purchased a replacement HP ink cartridge at Walmart.  The cartridge is defective.  There was no problem with previous cartridge: there is no problem with subsequent cartridge.  Ran through all the troubleshooting suggestions. 

Walmart will not accept open cartridges for return/replacement but require contacting manufacturer.   The HP website contact page does not allow for an inkjet cartridge option. 

The cartridge was purchased April 17, 2020 - warranty date on cartridge is 2021/10/06

I would greatly appreciate some assistance with  either a refund or replacement.

Thank you.

Unfortunately, I have not found that link helpful. 

I tried the "product, service, or app" option (since it is not the printer which continues to work fine both before and after this defective cartridge).  I attempted partial and complete information from the cartridge (C9352 AN option 140; PET-GF15, PUR; 2690519470124960; Tri-Color; HP22).  Nothing was recognized/accepted.  The expiration date on the cartridge is 2021/10/06.

I  tried to go through the printer option ([edit], Product Q7313A).  Since the printer is outside the manufacturer warranty , it only gives the option to "Visit the HP Support Community" on one side and the expired warranty information on the other side.  Even when I click on "See details" on the expired warranty and choose the contact support option, it sends me right back to the initial link.

I never thought that the limited warranty for an ink cartridge would be invalidated if the printer is out of warranty - especially when it works fine both before and after this one cartridge.   I had hoped to get this resolved with a chat option.  Unfortunately, it seems there is no option to resolve this defective cartridge at all.
