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!

Thanks to this thread I have decided not to lick my really sharp carving knife even though it doesn't actually say on the packaging that you shouldn't.

Great safety tip ladies

Once again, if a majority are of the same opinion it is construed as ganging up. The assumption EVERYONE is nasty. Each individual surely has a right to reply to the op? Their had been plenty of sympathy expressed to the OP'S dgs, and suggestions that the incident was preventable .... The op disagrees that it was, fair enough.

It's equally nasty to lump everyone into one lump and declare them all nasty. If you've read comments you consider beyond the pale than report them and they will be dealt with. I am always sympathetic when an op is getting a pasting even a deserved one, if the motivation behind the post was genuine. However I have little sympathy when someone attempts to play a forum to their advantage, based on what they perceive it to be, and then throws their toys out their pram and makes derogatory comments about people's parenting when they realise that the individuals that comprise the forum have brains they occasionally use and opinions that differ.

Yeo! Yeo!
Dontcha know
Your pots give me bare stress
And now I is vexed
They is sharp when they is meant to be blunt
You is a bunch of cunts

I opened my yeo last night and actually bothered to register for the yeokens on the lid.

I can't say I've ever cut myself on a yoghurt pot but have done so quite a few times on tin cans (not licking them).

You know what; I've changed my mind. Clearly dairy products can be dangerous.

All those corners.

YABU for calling it 'yogurt'

What, the spelling? I don't know about other people, but my swipey keyboard always puts yogurt when I want to type yoghurt. Or yoghourt.

What about yurts? Are they dangerous too? Should we be warned? 'Don't lick or swallow a yurt'.

I just love that cheese!

Be careful out there

Piglett, I'm more than old enough to be a grandmother and I'm 46. Hardly elderly.

If it is an advertising ploy then it worked. I've just added extra Yeo Valley to my order.

I suspect that this is the opposite of the op's intention. I imagine that she was enraged and thought that she would tell Mumsnet and all of us would boycott Yeo Valley.
I think this is why many people here are being rather 'unsporting' we don't like being used as a threat or as a group that can be rallied.

I did the same. I wonder if they will notice a spike in registration.

Yoghurt or yogurt are both accepted spellings.

Well said, Pipbin and honey. Quite.

I know, Pip, but I miss my H when it's not there

If someone was of malicious intent then they could go to netmums and post the exact same op and see how they respond.
It would be an interesting study into the difference between us.

Oh, and a friend of mine was a grandmother at 38. Hardly elderly.

Yep! And storm their FB page with our joined outrage and pitchforks

Just because there are pages and pages of posts on this threads doesn't necessarily mean that everyone is having a go at the OP. Threads of this nature have a tendency to divert and descend into random silliness where people have half forgotten the subject of the OP in the first place, I find.

I can beat that, Pip not the point I know but still - I used to work with someone who was only 36 when her son made her a grandmother! She was NOT impressed that he'd followed in her footsteps (Both 18 when they became parents). DEFinitely not elderly - she used to go clubbing every weekend!

Friend of mine was also a grandma at 36 also not the point. She was not quite 16 when she had her daughter, who had her son at 20.

Now I really want a hazelnut yoghurt. Also, I want people to acknowledge the H in yoghurt...so many places miss it out and while I know it's OK to spell the word that way, I feel like I have found my people here, with all y'all (sorry, I shouldn't watch Gone With The Wind) spelling it properly too!

em - boringly, and not because of the spelling, I just googled yoghurt and discovered from Wiki that the UK and USA dairy councils both spell it as yogurt, with yoghurt being a "minor variation".

(I was actually googling to see how yoghurt was pronounced in its "native tongue", which turns out to be Turkish, because I get the hump that DH and many others - Aussies - pronounce it as yo-gurt instead of yog-urt - turns out that doesn't matter either )

This post requires the most epic of face palms. Seriously, it's idiots like this that make customer service advisors the true heroes of our nation.

I LIKE the H. It seems joyless and cruel to get rid of unnecessary but decorative letters that aren't doing anyone any harm and only want to bring us delight and pleasure

I was so tempted by the rhubarb flavour Yeo Valley yoghurt in Sainsburys this morning, it was even on offer the cruel bastards.

I realised though that as DD is now 13 I'm not always around to supervise her yoghurt consumption so thought I mustn't expose her to something so DANGEROUS and had to put them back.
