Do I just put the in the bin?
Does anyone know what the problem is?

I kept the cluedo - they were a bit rubbish!

We used ours after it seemed from previous posts I wasn't going to blow the house up.

They were ok, nothing special. The gift was a cardboard tree decoration, which was a bit naff, I'm pleased my DC are old enough to not be overly disappointed. The plastic free is good from an environmental pov, but I'm not sure they will be quite the same.

I wish mine had been recalled! I got them from Morrisons and they were so incredibly hard to pull and the presents just fell out of them anyway. I only want the crown and jokes. I really must think ahead next year and make my own, but given that I've been responsible for Christmas for 30 years now and still run out on Christmas eve because I've once again forgotten the crackers, it's just not likely.

The Sainsburys 'family' crackers had anagrams for non family movies to perform Dirty Dancing and Rocky Horror Picture Show BBFC class both as 12/12A.

Plastic free but with metal instead.

Sainsburys only included six so I think we will finish those last two on Boxing Day and use the 'recall' on new years eve and day.

We used them and they were fine but one was missing the gift.

We used them for new years, nothing missing what we do think is the reason for the recall.

On the pack we had the GSM of the card is higher than normal for a cracker we've been buying Tom Smiths for many years elsewhere and Ocado.
The card was very thick that it made pulling them very hard.

So that is likely why that happened, probably was safety in the sense that children could pull them and fall or end up hitting something after pulling so hard.

Maybe it was a certain batch that had a higher GSM but it was enough to recall them all.
