Toy covered in meat.

[OCOC]

AIBU? I ordered a kids toy for my baby from a well known online retailer. Upon opening it, the toy was covered in sticky saucy fingerprints which seem like some kind of Bolognese (plus some lumps!) and I nearly threw up. I am a vegetarian too. Obviously I couldn’t give to DD but I didn’t quite want the sticky packaging and meat in my house. particularly as we don’t eat it.

So I asked online retailer (the item was only £6.99) if I could throw it away because I do not want it smelling overnight in my house and also I just in general do not like meat around. They said no.

AIBU? It’s quite gross that they’d even send something like that. I just don’t want the item overnight and I could wear gloves to pack I guess?

PS please can we not turn this thread into vegetarian bashing?

BUT you did send these photos to complete strangers at the company is that correct?

People ARE being kind.. i agree, seeing the photo really would help people be a little more pratical with their advice, but at the moment we are just having to guess and summise

@mollymazda the company isn't going to share the pictures online are they?
Mumsnet is different.
If the OP doesn't want to share a picture she doesn't have too.
