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!

It does. I have nightmares when there's some odd spike and I have to figure out what's driven a million people to the site at 3pm on a sunday.

Do you check MN hasn't been discussing your site then?

I clicked on this thinking it was going to be another 'lighthearted' thread and was thrilled when i actually read the OP

Great work Denise!

^ That should say smug emoticon

Oh no I don't work for mumsnet! I just have to analyse stats for my work site! They can be weird...

"I am concerned about the plastic used in the Yeo Valley strawberry 4-pot packs. Each pack contain two layers of two joined yog pots which, when separated, leave a very sharp edge about one inch long. This could easily cause a cut and is obviously highly dangerous. I believe that something should be done to rectify this."

From the Yeo Valley FB page. Any relation, Denise?

Can he Triggery?
Lucky you

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

or possible the OPs DH/Dp

Maybe the child's father?

I still have a very small scar on my forehead from being hit on the head by a tin of catfood when I was reaching up to get at a packet of biscuits that had been (supposedly) put out of my reach.I now realise this was entirely due to either my mother's lack of parenting skills or the catfood people for making heavy tins with sharp edges or even the shelf designer for a shelf that something can fall off. I got plenty of comfort from my mother for the injury at the time but I can't remember anybody saying that it wasn't my own fault. Sad to say I never learnt from my mistake as I still can't be bothered to get the stepladder out, but I may have acquired a skill at dodging tins as I haven't been hit since. I would guess that the OP's grandchild may still be tempted to lick the odd pot, but perhaps not a Yeo pot.

For people, who enjoy sad-facing articles this is a great blog. It's called Angry People in Local Newspapers.

Do you think Denise's grandson, let's call him Debbie Harry sang this to persuade her to give him the offending yoghurt?

Oh Denise oo be doo,
I'm in love with Yeo
Valley oo be do
I'm in love with Yeo

Adorable huh, no wonder she caved and gave him the pot.

My dog likes licking out yoghurt pots, DS holds them for her after he's decanted three petit filous into a bowl I shall have to check for sharp bits
PS Zing your poem made me snort outloud!

Facebook linker, stand up and show yourself 😂

I can't see anything on their Facebook page

It's in the comments under Alan's complaint

You have to click on visitor comments.

I really need to figure out how Facebook works

Thanks Hipotle

But it wasn't me who posted it to FB!

You're Welcome Asskicker :-)

I slashed my finger open on a tub of minions haribo at Christmas. But I was stealing sweets from ds at the time so I suppose I deserved it.

I hate Facebook. I can't even find Alan's complaint

Dangers are all over. Wrap your grandson in bubble wrap next time he's eating yoghurt.

Or just give him a second so he doesn't have to lick it out...

Yeo'd better shape up
Cos you've riled a gran
And she's wanting cash from you

Yeo'd better shape up
Make a smoother can
Safe for grandchildren to chew
