these were taken out of brand new LG refrigerators that were apartment replacements. refrigerators were unboxed and bypass plugs installed before they were plugged in and hooked to water.
these filters have never had any water run through them. they were factory installed in the machine but. pulled before any water was cycled through the dispenser.
not being sold as new because they don't have factory cellophane or box. being sold as is and priced accordingly.
