AIBU to expect Asda, NOT, to have very dangerous seeded grapes on casual display ,within reach of young children?

why do they have to put them in such easy reach?
Why do they put them at toddler eye level?
It's irresponsible at best and could cause a very serious injury.

Sorry if this sounds a bit ranty but I am,so, very cross.

We went to Asda today,whilst shopping there my DD was sitting in the trolley and by expert toddler deception obtained, ate then choked on a couple of seeds from a handful of acquired grapes.Angry
I only ever buy seedless ones for DD so she is NOT used to grapes, even having seeds.
She coughed for quite a while, it made her eyes water. Sad
Poor DD it must have been terrifying for her.
I'm not sure if to just complain or take some other action?
It's really put poor DD off eating grapes, which is a such a huge shame, as she always enjoys a snack whilst we shop.
DH thinks we should take legal action, I'm not sure.
Do you think we would we have a strong legal case against Asda?
Thank you in advance..

I would take legal action too, all the grapes in adds should be cut up just in case your dd needs to steel a snack.

Hmm
lunar1 · 10/04/2013 07:48

Asda, not adds!

ReluctantBeing · 10/04/2013 07:49

It wouldn't happen in Waitrose.

Chiggers · 10/04/2013 07:49

Meh, try harder OP.

lougle · 10/04/2013 07:49

See, now I think this is quite funny. Why is everyone being so serious about it? Just laugh, roll your eyes and move on.

TwoPoundCakePuncher · 10/04/2013 07:49

Place marking for the big reveal of reverse aibu obviously

GreatUncleEddie · 10/04/2013 07:49

Our point, tee, is that we wouldn't have to see your boring post if you just pressed watch thread. HTH.

CabbageLeaves · 10/04/2013 07:52

Thread about a thread . Just come out and say it on the other thread instead of this passive aggressive shit

sparkle12mar08 · 10/04/2013 07:55

Boring.

(I wish to state before posting that I have had this username since Christmas and it's because I live in Italy and used to be Bucharest Grin)

Perhaps we could have a MN campaign to piggle the seeds out of the seedy ones before they are put on display?

Think of the employment that would be created!

Tee2072 · 10/04/2013 08:01

Sorry to bore you GreatUncleEddie.

Oh wait. No I'm not.

JassyRadlett · 10/04/2013 08:02

I was looking forward to being righteously indignant based on thread title then read OP to see it's a joke. sulks

TwoPoundCakePuncher · 10/04/2013 08:04

Which thread is it about Cabbage?

PollyEthelEileen · 10/04/2013 08:05

YABVU, OP.

Supervise your kid.

Sirzy · 10/04/2013 08:05

The obvious answer is to have nothing on shelves below 4ft high to stop children stealing grabbing things

AugustaProdworthy · 10/04/2013 08:07

posted at 1 am ? You must have been angry for a long long time OP. I have read and re read and I don't understand your point.

sittinginthesun · 10/04/2013 08:11

I always miss the fun on the 1am threads.

DeskPlanner · 10/04/2013 08:11

Confused Ha Ha. How very funny. Not.

I'd say Asda have a strong legal case against your family for shoplifting.

shrimponastick · 10/04/2013 08:13

MN - can we have a smiley for a snigger/smirk?

Hope this is a joke . If not, keep your shoplifting toddler under control.

GreatUncleEddie - the difference between posting on a thread to mark your place and putting it on your watch list is that the former allows you to easily find the place you left off reading and the watch list doesn't.

(And before you start shouting 'bookmark' the bookmark facility has iPad issues, so I don't have it turned on...)

ClairesTravellingCircus · 10/04/2013 08:15

this HAS to be a joke right?

Trills · 10/04/2013 08:16

Grapes with seeds in? Unlikely.
