Hello,

I've never posted on Mumsnet before but read the threads and are surprised how much info responders know!

I have a wierd one .....

Last Christmas I bought my daughter an Oodie.

When putting it on she felt something scratch her. I looked and removed somethings that looked like either a long thin human finger nail or a bone of some kind covered in what I can only assume was dried blood.

The blood is over the items, especially at the thicker end but does not show up in my photos.

It was as sharp as a needle & pierced my finger when taking it out.

Obviously wanting to know what it was & who's what blood was on it I contacted Oodie.

Their response from the start has been very polite, apologising and offering to send my daughter another Oodie.

I have a number of times said I want to know what the item/ blood was that pierced my skin. The get the same email, apology & offering a free Oodie.

On pushing to know more I have been told it was a manufacturing error and again offered a free Oodie for my daughter.

I have asked again if they can shed light on what it may. I really want to know what was really nestled in an Oddie to fit a 7 yr old....... no response now.

I'm wondering where they are made and who by? If another country would they use bones as needles or has someone lost a finger nail .....

I get it's been nearly a year, but the thought can't leave me ....... it's so random .....

Anyone have any ideas? My daughter loves her Oodie but it repulses me every time I see it!

If I need an AIBU it would be:

Am I unreasonable to want to know what object with blood on was in my daughters Oodie &
pierced my finger?

Yes - I'd want to know
or
No - I would not care

It does look like the bone of a small animal.
Where are Oodles made?
It might put me off them as a company to be honest, so you won't get the truth from them.
Best guess would be a bone used as a toothpick.

Looks like a very long claw from a bird of prey or somesuch. Would account for the dried blood as well.

How odd. I was thinking it may have been a needle until I saw the photo. I don't think that is a fingernail though.

I am going to hang around to see if someone more knowledgeable than me comes along 😊

The only thing I can think of is that someone was eating while stitching and some of their lunch dropped and ended up on some fabric.

I'm not remotely an expert in these things but if I had to guess I would say the bone of a small animal or bird - mouse, rat, pigeon, that kind of thing.

Looks like some sort of toothpick made from bone.

The thing is about 3 to 4 cm long

It’s very small, I can’t even see it.

Do you have a photo?
