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!

I bet your complaint has made it onto the wall of no-shit-Sherlock complaints at Yeo Valley! That's made me laugh that has ! :)

It must have been a shock for you that your little GS hurt himself when he was under your care.

Thanks for the warning, but I think you'll find that Yeo valley aren't liable.

In fact there are a lot of shardy, pointy things in this world, even sucking eggs can be harmful, not that I'd dream of teaching you how to do that

I buy the large pots and transfer to a bowl, actually that's untrue, I buy large pots of Greek style MnS yoghurt only. It's unsweetened and delicious. I never buy Yeo valley as it's horrible and filled with sugar.

Parents, child minders nannies and Grand parents need to keep an eagle eye on kids. It's exhausting, so maybe just maybe, you might need to rethink your arrangements if you're finding it a bit much.

I got a paper cut once. We should get a warning on paper too.

Sharp things are sharp, in other news water is wet.

Oh my two year old licked the end of a battery my DH had just removed from the remote and said daddy that's nippy on my tongue.

I'd best contact duracell to complain.

Seriously, Op, I hope his tongues okay. I'd maybe tell him not to lick the outside of the pot and be careful if licking the lid if he takes it off incase he gets a paper cut from the edge. Thanks for the warning.

I think you're cross/embarrassed that your grandchild was injured in your care.

And you're blaming a yoghurt pot rather than your lack of common sense and supervision.

Also eggs are supposed to be boiled, fried or scrambled, they are not supposed to be sucked.

Denise, you might have better luck if you contact the Daily Mail. They might even do a lovely sadface photo. I look forward to seeing it.

People like this are why bags of nuts have to say "contains nuts" on the label

At least you have the staff at Yeo a laugh.

And us!

BTW is it just me being childish or does 'pot licking' sound a tiny bit rude?

Perhaps not in the same category as taking someone up the OXO tower, but certainly not something you discuss in front of your children.

The style of the OP is very reminiscent of a similar thread a year or two ago (can't even remember what it was about, but similar faux-outrage about something no one in their right mind would worry about) - is OP a returning banned troll?

It's not the company's fault that you allowed your grandson to do something stupid.

People will complain to companies about anything nowadays. Then they get vouchers I always think it is a bit unfair when people who whinge get rewarded whether their complaint is legitimate or not. Obviously it makes financial sense to the company.

It would be better to use this as a learning experience and remember to supervise him better in future. There are lots of ways that children can injure themselves with everyday products.

That's not funny Kirjava.

My friend had to fill out an accident report form for a paper cut at work, in case it got infected and she died.

Yep, really.

That's fucking outrageous Denise! You should teach your grandchild some manners. Licking yoghurt pots? Wtf is wrong with using a spoon like normal people?

Wonders how long it'll be before the OP comes back with "i thought you'd all be supportive. But you're just a bunch of cunts" 😒

No he was not liking the outside of the pot. That's the point! And yeo valley have told me that they are aware of the problem, as have other complaints, following a change in the plastic tgey use, and that they are looking into the matter. My point is...until they come up with a answer, they have a duty of care to their customers, to inform them of this. Are all the mums on here saying, that if you are out having a picnic, say, you would always have bowls to use. Surely that's the point of yogurts being in separate pots!

Are there no spoons where you live?

You are one of Those Customers who are the reasons that Ribena has had to put the following instructions on their large bottles of squash.

Please do not insert finger into this bottle.

Use the common sense you should have developed by this time in your life and supervise your grandchild when he's eating. and teach him not to lick out pots. Does he lick his plate as well?

I like the daily mail sad face idea, can you pose with a licky-pot face? And you can hold the meagre £2 in your outstretched arm, all Oliver-like

Pot licking in public

Will you be spending your apology vouchers, then?

Think of it as a learning opportunity. Sharp things are sharp.

Eh? So was he licking the inside of the yoghurt pot lizard stylee?

Either way it is the height of poor table manners to be licking the pot. Spoons love, you need to give him a spoon!
