Baby chair fell off wall in Tesco and no first aider in store

Oh, right, that makes it clearer. I think some people were thinking of a four-legged chair glued to a wall with a baby sat in it and swinging around. I think a letter of apology at least is a must. It really isn't on for Tesco to just ignore this.

If a child's injuries are serious, go to A&E or call an ambulance. If they're not, kiss it better. The first needs more than a check-out girl who's blown into Resus Annie's gob a few times. The latter just needs mummy or daddy. I don't see what value a first-aider would have added here.

You would imagine though that if it was dangerous you should have noticed when placing the child in it. If it wasnt noticable then it could have been a sudden unpredictable failure in which case what could Tesco have done?

I feel tesco have an obligation to look into what happened; tighten up safety on them if necessary but that is it. Your not entitled to any compensation and an apology is only really necessary if there is something to apologise for.

Like insurance companies tesco cant be held responsible for freak acts of god.

I think what the OP is saying is that the chair wasn't secured properly, i.e hadn't been tightened often enough and maintained regularly, which caused it to fall when her baby got in. This is what I think she deserves an apology for. If the chair had been secured properly, it wouldn't have fallen down.

You would imagine if the chair wasnt secured properly they would have noticed though when placing the child in it.

It could equally be the "child" was too big for it. Too quick to assume the OP is innocent in all this and tesco are the evil baddies out to kill and maim the countries toddlers.

I dont think a chair falling from a wall would be classed as a freak act of god

I would be horrified if I had sat one of my children in one of those and it had fallen off! you would simply expect it to be safe - that means it should be checked regularly to ensure that it is secure. Tesco should not have them in the stores if they cannot be sure that they are safe.

I think an apology is in order and assurance that they will do everything in their power to ensure it doesnt happen to another child.

OP I am pleased your child is OK.

I am sure that Tesco wasnt out to 'kill the evil babies and toddlers', but I also think they should be aware of (and concerned about) what happened!

Why do you need changing rooms in Tesco? Is this for those turning up in pyjamas to change to more suitable attire?
