The link is now dead. I think it's a worthwhile topic (I live in a city with many pottery factories and most of my cups & plates re seconds) but it needs to be fleshed out.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.13.231.220 (talk) 12:28, 4 October 2021 (UTC)Reply

This portion of the article is in error: "Factory seconds, also known as refurbished goods, ..." It erroneously indicates that the terms "factory seconds" and "refurbished goods" are synonymous. These are related but distinct concepts. "Factory seconds" indicates an error in the original manufacturing of the item. "Refurbished" indicates that the item has been fixed and/or tested/recertified to "make it new again".

A factory second may be refurbished to address the original manufacturing error, but not always. For instance, a piece of clothing with a cosmetic defect (e.g. a rend in the fabric or a discoloration in the pattern) may be sold as a factory second without being refurbished.

Similarly, a refurbished item is not necessarily a factory second. Used items without any manufacturing problems can be refurbished to prepare them for resale, e.g. to fix issues caused by normal wear and tear or to recertify that the item still falls within factory specifications.
