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!

How big is your tongue original?

Oh schoo, we are having a laugh. And the op did go a bit ott.

My 3 year old never licked a pot but I can't vouch for the 43 year old...

Depends on how big the tongue is original?

OP, I would have thought that anyone who buys the Yeo Valley yoghurt multipacks (as I do) would be aware that the edges can be on the sharp side. That's perfectly obvious without there needing to be a warning on the packaging.

As for it could just as well have been his finger or hand - well, probably not, as the skin on fingers and hands tends to be tougher than the skin on tongues and inside mouths.

It's unfortunate that this happened to your grandson, but I really don't think this is as big an issue as you seem to.

Op everyone is taking the piss but I'm on your side - it's a serious issue

I once got my tongue stuck in a frube. I wanted other consumers to be warned too but they wouldn't take me seriously. A frube to the tongue is no laughing matter

Game - are we talking those teensy thimble sized pots?

Larger than a cat, smaller than a Labrador.

Crikey, just been looking up Ribena to see if there is any info on the bottleneck insert and discovered that it is not recommended for children under 3 in the USA, presumably because of the higher-than-average sugar content?

The warning seems perfectly clear to me.

Shiny...

I did get my tongue stuck briefly in a coke bottle when I was a kid. Whose not done that though? I suspect I got a telling off for being daft.

Yes those little ones. I have an urge to stick my tongue in one now to check

That's a British bottle, Thumb!

Not suitable for under 3's over here either. It's just the glare from the flash has oblitereated the words "Not Suitable"in that photo.

Is your DGS scarred for life, OP.

This is what spoons are for, btw. Though I hear that if you whack someone on the head with one really hard, they leave a bruise. Dangerous things, spoons because as well as that, if you turn one around the wrong way and poke yourself in the eyes with it, you can go blind.

Op

I'd write to Mumsnet and demand a better class of poster if I were you.

UANBU at all, I've been bitterly complaining to Lambrini for years that they use glass bottles. I'm sick of having to decant into sippy cups for my children, imagine what would happen if they dropped the bottle?

This should be on nethuns. They're a bit more sympathetic, not sarcastic!

I get that mavis. Maybe I'm being a humourless old trout, but I think it's verging on a bit mean to a worried granny who has obviously stumbled unwittingly into AIBU without fully understanding the implications!

Years ago, on Sex Tips for Girls I remember advice about encouraging your partner to lick out a yogurt pot to practise giving oral sex!

A Labrador's tongue, originalmavis, or an actual Labrador?

Be careful gamer...it could be dangerous. (Bathroom can wait...its friday... It only get dirtier...the bathroom not the yog pot). Sorry abbie but you have ready cheered up my friday. Thanks x

Albie - I think you have just found out that on MN not everyone willl agree with you and will not be shy in lettingyou know in the most amusing fashion

Sorry but I think you're being a bit silly but I do hope your grandson's tongue is better soon

Poor OP! I confess I do keep a nail file in the kitchen since my little one cut her finger on a El cheapo yogurt pot - if one looks particularly sharp and I remember I will give it a couple of swipes with the file.

I paper cut my eye ball once. Horrible consequence of being short and ignoring health and safety rules about wearing shoes in the office and tall printers. Gross

Poor op. She was so excited to tell us as well

I wonder how many people have used theyre hands to pick up those pots of yogurts?

I always have a spork in my bag

oh my god that is the best thing I have read on here in a loooong time.

Post on nethuns they will probably start a campaign
