DANGEROUS Yeo Valley yogurt pots

533 replies

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!

CAnt my cat is mad for yoghurt

This has reminded me I have a £3 Proctor and Gamble voucher to spend.

I called them up like a complete tool, begging them to tell me how to make the kitchen spray work. Turns out it was faulty, but they thought it was hilarious that I just assumed I was too stupid to work it.

Schnoo school that's fair enough if it's a reminder to keep an eye on DCs because of what happened but not to make out that Yeo Valley should be boycotted...

Its a dangerous world out there
Especially when granny is left in charge

Sallyingforth · 08/01/2016 13:27

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.

So you gave your grandchild something with sharp edges, and want to blame the manufacturer?

shinynewusername · 08/01/2016 13:28

Ahem, Zebra, surely you mean you will be 'flaunting your curves' or 'endless legs'? 'Pegs' and 'gams' are not nearly creepily stalkerish titillating enough for the DM

AliceInUnderpants · 08/01/2016 13:28

What sort of warning?

warning: do not be fucking stupid?
warning: use a spoon?
*warning: It's your own fault for not supervising?

ZingDramaQueenOfSheeba · 08/01/2016 13:29

Children licking stuff??! Shock
Sharp things causing cuts??! Shock Shock

Whatever the fuck is next?
I'm clutching my pearls so hard that it made me drop my hankerchief! Surely Tiffany and Co is obliged to compensate me.

However, I once had a lot of fun on a thread where I got a frw people to lick their phones to swipe them. It escalated to the point where Oink kindly tested his phone and confirmed succesful penis swiping.
I miss him. He was a good sport Sad

ouryve · 08/01/2016 13:31

I was scared of the yoghurt aisle for several whole seconds, bluesmarties

RealHuman · 08/01/2016 13:31

I often use my nose to swipe if the hand not holding my phone is otherwise occupied, as I have a big phone and tiny thumbs Sad

Did you know that a carrot will work, too?

dreich · 08/01/2016 13:31

We just need someone to add a Haiku to push this into a Mumsnet classic.

TheSpottedZebra · 08/01/2016 13:32

OMG shiny, you're one of them, aren't you? Grin

Roussette · 08/01/2016 13:35

I got a paper cut once. I tried to sue David Brent from the Office but nuffink happened Grin

OP you are being beyond ridiculous

ihaterain · 08/01/2016 13:36

OP,

If my 2 year old can get the hang of using a spoon to eat a yoghurt and not lick the lid, then I am sure your grandson can.

Failing that, decant the yoghurt next time

shinynewusername · 08/01/2016 13:37

The cut from the pot
Left a scar on my tongue, but
It's my heart that bleeds.

HoneyDragon · 08/01/2016 13:37

Sweet yoghurty joy
Bittered by the splitten tongue
Bad Granny did it

Missing point, but in defence of Yeo Valley yoghurt , no it isn't full of sugar as a PP said. I get the plain kind and it's full of yoghurt.

Asskicker · 08/01/2016 13:38

I love threads like these.

Especially when the op comes back and tells every one they are mean.

Bless

ChazsBrilliantAttitude · 08/01/2016 13:40

Mumsnet wit cuts to the soul.
Just like the edge of
a Yeo Valley yogurt pot.

TracyBarlow · 08/01/2016 13:41

Well,Megan's pretty unanimous then OP.

I bet the Yeo Valley press office are absolutely delighted at this thread. Probably not the outcome compensation you were after eh, OP?

Asskicker · 08/01/2016 13:41

I think the OPs dil has kicked off with her and this is part of her defence.

'You see even all the people on mumsnet agree it wasn't unreasonable to let him lick a pointy piece of plastic'

originalmavis · 08/01/2016 13:41

It was the capitalisation on the thread title that did it for me.

TracyBarlow · 08/01/2016 13:41

Megan? Who is Megan?

originalmavis · 08/01/2016 13:42

I was at school with her.
