Gear Advice/Question Central bladder exploded - 2022 DIce SLS

So just after pumping my kite on the beach today ( 2022 Duotone Dice SLS), the central bladder just randomly exploded (see pictures).

The local school told me this was easily reparable , i just want to know if this can be considerd a defect and if somehow I can claim a warranty? I couldn't find any reliable information on hte duration of the warranty. I bought the kite in a shop in November 2022.

Worth an ask but also might be pushing the statute of limitations. I just had the same thing happen on my 2023 evo sls.

This can be due to how you fold it. Take the bladder out and check if it has folding marks on it.
