Dodgy toy = hospital visits for child- who do i deal with?

You don't get calpol free around here... they never issue prescriptions for it!

Im so glad some of you think it's a jokeable matter!

Obviously some of you don't have children, or are completely insensitive.

Son has been really poorly, with temperature & sickness now, and has been to hospital 5 times in one week for his hand. It's not nice for him at all.
sainsburys head office phoned me back and they are recalling the toy, which is great, as I'd hate to think of someone else's child suffering like this.

Thanks again to the real helpers, who pointed me in the right direction.

Child should have been spanked for carelessly playing with and clumsily breaking their brand new toy. Compensation should be sought through with-holding treats and stopping their pocket money for a period of time.

Stupid post. That really doesn't help, does it?

KimYeovil - would be great - and totally appropriate - to see you step up to the plate and offer an apology to the OP. Doubt that will happen though....

Read your thread, and although I can't offer any advice I wish your son a speedy recovery. It's not easy seeing your little ones in pain. And with it being so close to Christmas you must be worried. Hope it's all better soon for him.

Oh, and ignore the trolls who think anything that happens is the consumer's fault.

Was the toy made in china? if so , it was your fault for not buying a toy made in britain.

Yet another idiotic post. Show me a toy not made in Britain????

Saying that the OP should have "spanked" his/her child when clearly there was an injury.

Did you not read the posts???

Speaks volumes that you cannot say "I'm sorry".

Did you read my post after yours?
For being yet another jokey person who thinks its funny that a 4 year old is still wrapped in bandages, thats what!!

I do hope you're not a parent.

Has your son ever had an allergic reaction to dressings before? If you go stomping in looking for compensation the company may just tell you to jog on as you can't prove that the infection was caused by the toy and not by the dressing.

I'd seek medical advice on the cause of your sons infection first before doing anything else, if the kid is allergic to dressings and needs ones from a hospital that can't be prescribed then you sticking a plaster on his original injury could have caused the infection in the first place.
