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 think they should change the name to "Milky Death Pots", so that people know the whole world of shit they're getting into.

I like your thinking Milky. Reminds me of the time I renamed an almond croissant a Peshwari Death Bread (outs self to one Mumsnetter if she is still here and has a v v good memory) after choking on one on a bus.

Milky fgs??? Tiggy, of course

I brought some Alpro yoghurt today, I can confirm that it is completely safe. And coconut flavour.

Biscuit - unfortunately it tasted of wet cardboard and socks, but you can't have everything.

Can we nominate for Classics?

I think the CIA is working on a brand of yogurt to be used in hand combat and for torture
It will be called Langley Farm Yo Hurt

I've just eaten a lovely pot of Vrai yoghurt. I remain un(yog)hurt.

I'm going to start selling T-shirts that say "I survived eating a pot of yoghurt".

Social media turned people into idiots. 'something happened that could happen to anyone if they're not careful so I must complain and warn everyone in case the sky falls down'

GraysAnalogy exactly. The fact that the OP went to the trouble of registering with MN to issue this dire warning just boggles my mind.
Bloody ridiculous! As was complaining to Yeo Valley.

I would bet you a large pot of vanilla yoghurt that this entire thread has been printed out and pasted on the wall at Yeo valley HQ.

I once got a kit Kat with no wafer in. We sent them a picture of it (not a complaint, it was delicious and more of a 'hey look at this!' And they sent me and my sister a lovely note and a big bag of assorted chicks. Huzzah!

grunt

I think the op has got it into her head that if she generates enough bad publicity online, yeo valley will bung her some compensation.

Sadly her complaint is so spurious that she has just made herself look foolish.

What did you do with the chicks, Skipton? Did they lay eggs?

I have respect for Yeo Valley that they stood their ground and have told her to sling her hook.

Haha! Meant chocs (bloody autocorrect)

I do like the mental image of us all looking confused having opened a box full of chooks though

The op may wish to know that in many cultures, chiLdren are allowed to play with sharp objects like machetes in order for them to learn caution. I quote from the very readable "the anthropology of childhood: cherubs, chattels and changelings."
De León (2012) records an episode from her Zinacantecan site where a three-year-old boy nearly runs, barefoot, through a fire. Adults do not react sympathetically. Instead, they comment that the child is flawed in not developing awareness of its surroundings, not paying close attention, and not figuring things out."

Absolutely nothing useful to add but I was having the crappiest of crap days and this thread has made me piss myself laughing! (Not literally obvs, that would be unpleasant...) It has, however made me want yoghurt. Anyone know if Waitrose Greek yoghurt is dangerous? The pot is round but even so...

I remember when my DDs were at preschool and empty yoghurt pots were amongst the items we were requested to collect and bring in so that they could build various models such ad castles, robots etc.

How on earth did my children survive those highly dangerous activities? I really will never know.

Went shopping today and bought a Yeo valley yoghurt because it was £1 to congratulate them for telling the op to sling her hook. Well done Yeo Valley for recognising that the customer is sometimes utterly wrong.

RealHuman That it did, that it did. What a waste of money. Think I can complain to Tesco about it being dangerous...ly revolting?

Topseyt maybe loo roll tubes should also have a printed warning to alert people to potential papercuts and shitty children's art projects

OP, have you thought about contacting Watchdog?

Oh yes, Showyourseams. Very true.

It isn't just the paper cut from loo roll tubes. Think of the bacteria from them being next to the toilet.

Am about to open the Yeo valley. Have donned a full hazmat suit. If you've heard nothing in 20 minutes. Assume the worst.

Are you still around, Compos?
