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!

Er

I agreed with the op. So ya boo sucks and all that jazz

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

Hang on, so he wasn't even licking the outside of the pot, he just didn't disliked it?

Oooo bad autocorrect. I have a set of red ones...

Oh my days Pipbin that's one of the finer sporks I have ever laid eyes on! It's a knife too! Sporfe?

So if I've read it correctly, he wasn't licking the outside, & the inside isn't sharp, so what happened?

Let's just be thankful he didn't swallow the pot whole and choke. Those pots are a liability. What type of adult can supervise a small child all the time when they are eating?

I normally get mine take a handful from m&s when I get my lunch... I do love sporks

I was going to comment on that too, Glitter - sporfe sounds good!

NarcyCow you literally made me pee myself a little laughing!!!

Also OP

One have a knifey bit too. I wish I'd invented them.

I think OP might find better outrage over at Gransnet.

OP, the pot is not meant to be licked. If he was eating yoghurt, with a spoon, correctly supervised, he wouldn't have been hurt. I also fail to see how he could cut himself unless he was holding the yoghurt pot in a death grip. (Does he have an issue with other siblings stealing his food?)

Neither of these is the article I read, but they give fairly good accounts of it. The woman was badly injured and had to have skin grafts and was disabled by her burns.

Mine not one.

I don't understand. Was he trying to eat the pot? If he wasn't licking it, but it cut his tongue, what was he doing?

"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."

in a frigging nutshell!

I did actually have a traumatic childhood food related injury, one that scarred me for life -physically and emotionally.

We were eating flying saucers, (the sherbet-filled sweeties), and decided to have a competition as to who could pick one and keep it stuck to their face the longest. I won, and when I took it off, it ripped off my skin and made me bleed. I still have a scar, some 30+ years on. I ate that one, of course, but haven't had any in a good few years now .

The bastard at Flying Saucers Inc. have still not put warning signs on every pic n mix in the land. DM, please contact me to arrange a SadFace photo shoot forthwith. I live in a detached house and I shall wear a skirt.

I'm not supposed to be spending in January otherwise i'd be ordering myself a couple of those lovely sporfes

Licking lid = acceptable.

Licking inside of pot = very yucky, don't do it.

YABU OP.

But how much is your house worth, Zebra? No DM article is complete without this information. If you have a 'baby bump' that you could either be 'hiding' or 'flaunting', that would be a bonus.

cant believe its 8 pages in and im the first person to ask.

Denise. Since you are so outraged that yeo sent you a £2 voucher,can I have it please? I could live on yeo valley lemon curd yogurt.

£2.3 million , shiny lie! And I live in a leafy shire, so you know that I am a worthwhile and valid person.

No baby bump, alas. But I could perhaps flaunt my 'pegs', or 'gams'?

I think what's getting my back up is all the self-righteousness about table manners and supervision from all the perfect parents that would never take their eyes off little Tarquin for a second. Heaven forbid he'd ever have the chance to lick a yoghurt pot!

shiny I just assumed the OP was making a helpful public service announcement perhaps I am naive as well as humourless. Oh well, I'm having a bad day, I'll shuffle off now (and check what my kids are licking!)

I let my CAT lick the inside of the pot when I'm done... And I supervise him because of the sharp bits, let alone a child...

I hope it was natural yoghurt OP, feeling your grandchildren that sugary shit is well more dangerous than letting them lick it!

I don't have a problem with someone warning me that Yeo valley yoghurt pot is way sharper than any other yoghurt pot when separated so be careful (is that actually true? Do they use special sharp plastic?) To be fair I hadn't realised before now they were so hazardous.

It's the outrage at £2 of vouchers that tickles me. What do you think would be appropriate compensation for a cut tongue (assuming not in need of surgical intervention) - loss of earnings, loss of potential earnings as tongue model, pain and suffering?
