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!

What else would you pick them up with, shazza?

I do! What's so funny? I have a selection on various colours at home. I think they are great.

or don't any of your children hold yogurt pots either!!!

You said he was licking the inside of the pots. Children don't tend to hold the inside of the pots.

the single pots were falling out of the cardboard sleeves apparently

They actually were - I pick a pack up in Sainsburys, once and a pot slid right out and splatted all over the floor, me and the shop worker about 10' away from me. At least I didn't have to hunt for someone to clean it up!

I pick them up with oven mitts, shazza. Can't be too careful.

Stitches...

Schnoo do you not think that the OP's motive in registering on MN specially to warn us about the yoghurt apocalypse issue might perhaps have been to elicit lots of horrified "won't someone PLEASE think of the children?" posts to back up her claim for compensation?

Denise Denise oh with your yoghurt pot,
Denise Denise let children lick them not,
Denise Denise I'm so upset by Yeo Yeo Yeo

YABU. There are starving children in the world and you want me to get riled up about yoghurt pots?

Teach your grandson about spoons and spare us please.

I think it is the use of the word spork and the matter of fact delivery I'm at work, I had to dash to the stationery cupboard to laugh.

OP unfortunately many people who post here, do tend to oppose whatever argument is put forward in the opening post by default, so don't expect any sympathy.

I agree with you, IF the company have stated that they are aware of a problem due to the type of plastic, they should do something to fix it ASAP, or provide a warning.

I wouldn't expect to give my toddler a yoghurt only to find out minutes later that she has cut her mouth open. "Don't lick yoghurt pots", isn't a warning you usually hear most mothers giving their children either.

No he was not liking the outside of the pot. That's the point!

Where was he licking? I'm confused? He had his tongue inside the pot and the inside was sharp? Where?

The edges of all multipack yoghurt pots can be sharp.

I hope he's feeling better.

Sorry Nutty I didn't even attempt to look at your picture, the info was on a US site selling Ribena. I see it on your photo now as well though.

I'm still very at the idea that Ribena was somehow to blame for increasing obesity in children - it's ALWAYS had higher sugar content, because blackcurrants are so very foul without sugar, and it is pretty much the only squash we had (well, that and lime cordial, oh and lemon barley water) when we were children. None of us were obese! (I mean "none of us" as no one among my cohort of friends at school, not just my own family).

Anyway - back to the yoghurts...

Glitter - would you like me to send you one? A lovely visual gag every time you open your handbag!

Give it up Pat, it's too late.

Only when the op is nonsensical.

Boogers I remember that episode... I was early teens when I watched it. I was then I'm now lol

Op top Rules for mumsnet

1. Dont post to aibu if there's even the slightest chance that you are...

And so on...

I would love a coloured spork. I only have the ones KFC give you for the beans.

I cannot believe the insulting response that I have received from members of this site. I feel so sorry for your children having such self righteous parents such as yourselves.

Self-righteous? Pot. kettle. black.

Use a spoon or decant to a bowl. They can obviously have sharp edges and corners! You sounds as silly as the woman who dies McDonald's because she spilt her coffee on herself and burnt herself.

Ouryve
But most importantly, did you sue for yogurt pot splatting induced emotional trauma?

Im going to watch out for Yeo Valley legal dept recruitment notices now!

Sporks!!!!!

I've got s set of Ted ones them my son, knowing my penchant for all things sporkable bought me a pack of four from tiger and they are all different colours! So I can use the green for salad, red for soup, yellow for yoghurt, pink for pudding. Not sure the blue one though.

Interestingly, the woman who sued McDonald's may not have been as UR as she was painted. The coffee they served was far hotter than normal, they knew it was an issue, and she was badly burnt on her thighs and genitals. I read an article about it; let me see if I can find it.
