To expect Sainsburys to remove evaporated milk with dangerous labelling

[FannyBazaar]

The offending tins state 'infant feeding, contact your doctor or clinic as special dilutions may be advised' and are in 2 different sizes. I have contacted customer services by email and in store and know I'm not the only one to inform them of this error.

I know it doesn't simply say that it is suitable, but I also know of many examples of doctors and clinics giving unsafe feeding advice.

If they can't speak or read English, how are they going to read the side of the tin?

If the stressed Dad who can't speak English buys the tin and brings it back home where someone may understand a little or look for instructions and recognise a word like infant, then they call. Obviously this has never happened to anyone here. When reading instructions in a not so familiar foreign language, it is easy to pick out some familiar words but not identify the others. Rather like a child being told not to play with XYZ, who simply heres XYZ.

Ok so lets make up more and more ridiculous situations to justify the assertion here then ....

What about if the same dad sees the cow on a carton of milk and brings it home and decides since the baby drinks milk and it's milk in the carton it's ok to give that to the baby?

And more importantly even if these extremely peculiar set of circumstances happen, the baby will suffer no ill effects what so ever. They'll get some nutrition, it will have more salt than ideal, it'll have too little vitamin C or Iron than ideal, but as one off, or even for a few days won't be a problem. It's not poison, it's just not a complete food for babies unlike breast milk or formula.

If people spoke no English, they wouldn't be able to phone their health clinic (and they wouldn't be able to phone their health clinic in the middle of the night anyway).

People who speak no English can still distinguish the picture of a baby from the picture of a piece of cake or a fruit salad. Why would anyone think that a tin of (I'm assuming they don't know the word "milk") showing desert with topping would be baby formula anyway? Are they daft as well as foreign-speaking?

Even if they gave their baby evaporated milk, nothing much would happen.

YABU. Deal with it.
