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!

So he was eating a yoghurt correctly with a spoon and managed to cut his tongue?

No he was licking the pot, which is not meant to be licked. Children will do things they're not supposed to which is why they should be supervised and taught the right way to do things.

Are all the mums on here saying, that if you are out having a picnic, say, you would always have bowls to use

No, but I'd definitely have a spoon

I like sticking my finger in Ribena bottles. I love the thrill of danger.

So you (and people of your ilk) are why use saw a child's t-shirt with the advice label "remove outer packaging before wearing"

"until they come up with a answer, they have a duty of care to their customers, to inform them of this. "

Use a spoon.
Don't lick out yoghurt pots with sharp edges.

(Also, for reference, packets of nuts "may contain nuts".)

HTH

Also eggs are supposed to be boiled, fried or scrambled, they are not supposed to be sucked.
Surely they're supposed to be chickens?

You're all great big meanies. Think of the children. For God's sake, won't somebody THINK OF THE CHILDREN!!

See now I'm going to have to stick my finger in a ribena bottle just to see what's going to happen...

These responses are making me cross- doesn't anyone else lick their yoghurt pots? Really?

I always Sometimes I do lick the yoghurt pots . But I am on a diet and every part gram of food is needed right now, if I've counted it then I'm damn well eating it!. But then if I did cut my tongue, I'd accept it was my own silly fault, they are not meant to be licked.

Yoghurt pot + spoon = no tongue injuries.

However, if all else fails please contact:
[email protected] for compensation.

milk I'm very sorry. I hope your friend was saved from the life-threatening paper cut. Was there emergency surgery involved?

I do know someone who got a paper cut on her eyeball...urgh

Inform them of what? "if you are silly and don't just use a spoon to eat your yoghurt you may hurt yourself?"

Maybe they should also add "ensure the spoon used is only placed in the mouth as it may cause damage if used incorrectly"

You see, now it doesn't make any sense. Why would the sharp plastic be on the inside of the pot, once it's separated from the rest? It wouldn't, unless you seriously buggered up the separation, now would it. The sharp bits would still be on the outside, where the pots are joined together.

SO I say this is bollocks, sorry.

The Answer.

I had the very same issue with bamboo kebab skewers.

I had an itchy eyeball and used one to receive the itch. My eye came out like a popcake.

I got 37p compensation from the manufacturer aftet I wrote to them, my MP, the European courts of human rights and God.

Fair all those children out on a picnic wearing t-shirts in bags, their fingers stuck in Ribena bottles and desperately trying to slurp their yoghurt from the pot as they don't have spoons

I got a paper cut once. We should get a warning on paper too lol when I saw this I started shouting ds did give me an odd look... Sure the neighbours heard me too lol

Thanks for the warning op never thought to not lick sharp things My tongue may see some pain free days yet because of you yippee what is going on with the world

I don't have any Ribena, but there's no warning on the outside of our bottle of orange squash which I don't drink anyway because it's rank

No warning. Fuck you, Robinson's. You don't care about us.

I really really don't believe that person who DOES NOT NOTICE that pot has a sharp plastic edge would actually go through the trouble of reading small print on the label of the yogurt pot.

My youngest bite her tongue last week, so I'm taking her to the dentist to have her teeth removed. Bloody dangerous teeth, they should come with a warning!

Oh now a papercut to the eyeball could actually induce blindness if the cornea got infected, so I can see that being an issue, but I did snigger at the idea of filling in an accident report form for getting a standard papercut to the finger!

Whatever next? All knives sold with a warning about them being sharp?

Honestly...please God can common sense be returned to the planet earth?

We frequently buy these yogurts and give them to our small DC (youngest is 2).

We give them a pot and a spoon, they eat the yogurt with the spoon. They've never tried to lick the pots, but if they did, it would get taken off them, just as with any other yoghurt pots (which can all have sharp bits). Quite aside from the safety aspects of possible sharp edges, it's bad table manners for a child to lick the yoghurt pot.

I'm not going to stop buying them.

Dd2 once dropped a whole pot of yeo valley yoghurt on the floor. It took a lot of cleaning to get up. Can I claim for cleaning products?

Since they changed the pots (the single pots were falling out of the cardboard sleeves apparently) the join along which they snap has been really sharp. My son complains not because he licks them but because he catches his fingers occasionally. We just told him to be careful. It's sharp but to catch his tongue, your GS MUST have been licking the outside of the pot - which is gross.
