Tesco Sweets

Hi
I bought a pack of Tesco 40p tooth and lips sweets yesterday. I was eating them today when one of the sweets had a big bit of tree bark attached to it! Now if it had been a small child eating the sweets (thats the age group that would normally buy them :P) they could easily have choked.
I'm going to write and complain to Tesco, but what sort of things should I put in the letter? Should I include photos etc?
Thanks
Tom

I take photos to prove it just incase
Keep packaging and receipt as proof too
Defintley Highlight your concern for the safety of customers esp small children whom this product is aimed at
Perhaps something along the limes of this this has damaged your faith in company or hope you can do something to rectify this situation and restore my faith in your company!
Just ideas?? Hope this helps0 -

Yew should stick to the facts, and hopefully Tesco will-ow you a small goodwill gesture. Let's hope they stump up, or else you will have been barking up the wrong tree.
Hope everything turns out oak-ay.

PS But in all seriousness yes it does warrant a complaint as you're right, a small child could have been hurt.DFW Nerd 0350 -
