DANGEROUS Yeo Valley yogurt pots

[Albie20]

Hello everyone. Firstly let me introduce myself. My name is Denise, and I am a grandmother of three. I have registered with the site today, to warn parents of the hidden dangers of Yeo Valley yogurt pots. I use the word hidden, as after having contacted them about a serious cut to my grandsons tongue at Xmas, they wrote back and said they was aware of the situation with the sharp pots, but still have no intention of putting a warning on the packages. They then had the audacity to send me £2 in vouchers as a way of an apology! My 3 year old grandson simply licked the pot like children do. The problem is the extremely sharp plastic that's there once the pots are separated. This is clearly a case of putting profits before the welfare of their customers. SHAME ON YOU YEO VALLEY!

Formatting fail let me try again

Mumsnet wit cuts to
the soul. Just like the edge of
a Yeo Valley yogurt pot.

Shiny . Poet laureate award is in the bag!

DANGER, DANGER, high sharpage!
When you lick
Yogurt pots!

Beautiful Haikus, excellent work team.

My waters broke in the yogurt aisle at Sainsbos, they called an ambulance. The paramedic looked at my Yeo Valley

Oh and I was in the paper but sadly not the Daily Fail just the local rag. I was on the front page though,with happy face pic.

You guys are being mean. She's someone's grandmother ffs. Have some respect.

Are there no spoons where you live?

Sorry but that's given me a proper laugh

Is it bad that I am now craving their yogurty goodness? although I won't lick the pot

Don't tease the web content manager. The poor sod will be trying to anslyse the spike in hits.

Just one.

was it the OP?

Hurt by yoghurt pot?
Compensation must you claim,
For now there's no shame.

Don't do it, people. Just don't.

Wow. So you want all yoghurt pots withdrawn from sale?!

Oh, I see I'm late to the party! Must refresh more often!

I let my cats lick the pot when I have finished and like PPs they are supervised

I hope this thread reaches Yeo Valley marketing and sales departments. It'll make their afternoon.

SchnooSchnoo - I think the point is that yoghurt pots are not specifically designed to be licked - yoghurts are meant to be eaten with a spoon - and if you decide to lick something that's not meant to be licked (or allow a child to do the same), the company isn't responsible if you hurt yourself.

Saying that good table manners would have avoided this issue isn't self-righteous - it's just a fact.

I don't think the company is responsible for injuries resulting from misuse of their product - if I do something daft, and hurt myself, I blame myself, not the manufacturer of whatever I was using daftly.

Denise came to us
to warn us of danger rare:
Yoghurt pots. Scary.

Poor Denise, she only came here with good intentions. .

will she complain to HQ and get it deleted on account of protecting her privacy

This thread has made me remember an old boyfriend who could lick to the bottom of those individual pudding pots from M&S. Fond memories.

Although- thanks to the OP.
I forgot to put yoghurts on my shopping list for tomorrow. Not any more.

No, the complaint on the Yeo Valley FB page is from a bloke called Alan. Who could, of course, be an alterego for Denise.

A new yogurt range
Shall be created promptly
Lick this: "You Wally"

Mavis - it's the FB page, not the Yeo Valley website, does that make you feel any better?

Methinks Denise is slightly regretting posting here.

Apologies as I've not RTFT but I don't see how this can be a Yeo Valley specific problem...all yoghurt/fromage frais pots in my experience have a sharp pointy bit when snapped off.
