Yeah, unfortunately mine were manufactured after the date they corrected the problem. Although mine aren't in bad condition, I certainly would have jumped at getting a brand new set. I think the cut off date was something like 6/96 (or something like that - I called their number at Alcoa) and mine were made in 11/96 or so. Basically I missed getting a new set by about 3 months.
