This screen shot shows the ad I just had appear. These companies have been in the news recently and not in any positive way. I am quite shocked mumsnet is allowing this.

Hi there - thanks so much for flagging this up. It slipped through our filters somehow so we'll get on the case with removing it.
Sorry to be a pain, but as Wauden says above, it would really help if you could get the URL for us. You can do this by turning your phone/device to airplane mode or turning off the connection, and then clicking on the ad. This will show the URL which you can copy and paste without actually opening the webpage.
Thanks, and sorry for the faff!
Kim

Hi there Wiifitmama,

This should be blocked now but let us know if you keep seeing it. Thanks for your patience.
