I've seen some places say they should last 5 years I've seen others saying they should last 20. I think it just matters if you take care of it or not.(removing it properly ect)

 

I know all of the ones I've bought have had lifetime warranties. You should see if yous does. :D

(I've always bought pny ones)

 

As for getting you data back... Try one of these:

Does removing properly mean clicking the "safely remove" button? Because I know that my Flash drive is configured for fast removal. I'm thinking it could also mean not removing the flash drive before all the data is written - but how would that damage the hardware?
