EDIT: Ouch on the APIDA 1GB.
Manufacturer Warranty
Parts 30 days limited
Labor 30 days limited
Better to pay a few dollars more and get a lifetime warranty.

Newegg's site does say 30 days, but the manufacturer's website says "3 years limited waranty for all APIDA memory products."
Warranty Info
Also, Newegg doesn't specify any non-standard return policy, so that means it's returnable to Newegg for replacement within one year of purchase.
I've been installing memory in computers for over 20 years (DIP, SIP, ZIP, COAST, SIMM, DIMM, etc.), and I did desktop support for a living for many of those years. While I've had the occasional DOA part, I've never had a memory part fail on me after initial testing. Doesn't mean it doesn't happen, of course...but a one-year or three-year warranty on RAM is the same as lifetime in my book. Besides, APIDA doesn't make the memory chips, they're made by the same companies that make the chips on all of the other brands of DIMMs. At best, APIDA puts the chips on the DIMM modules. More likely is that they put their name on the DIMM modules that somebody else put together, just like most of the other brands do.
