Kinder recall- they want to send me a voucher to replace the egg rather than refund me?

I bought the Justice League Kinder Easter egg for £5.50 from Sainsburys about a month ago for DS then it was obviously recalled so I can’t give him it and had to buy him a different one. I emailed Ferrero to ask for a refund because news articles claim they will send you a refund. They’ve just replied informing me they’ll send a gift voucher so I can buy a new Kinder Easter egg? I obviously can’t because they have all been recalled, I haven’t seen any Kinder eggs at all in any shop since the recall. Has anyone else asked for a refund and had any success? The gift voucher option doesn’t even make sense.

Aren't you supposed to return it to the retailer for refund

Would you claim the refund back from sainsburys?

News articles regarding the recall say you should contact Ferrero for a refund.

They're not even responding to me yet. I emailed 72 hours ago.

Sainsburys will refund you if you paid by card and can provide proof of the transaction because they keep receipt records for 6 months apparently.

They're specifically asking people to contact them direct

Although googling suggests emailing or phoning them. How strange

I did pay by card but don’t have the receipt, suppose I could show them my bank statement or something? I didn’t just buy that though so not sure how it would work. Baffling they offered a gift voucher to buy a new egg when the eggs aren’t being sold!

If you have a nectar card they can confirm the transaction using that.

Yeah i contacted sainsburys customer service and if you show them the transaction they'll match the date, time and value and probably the last 4 digits of your card number to your receipt in their system
