Have hd a search as I know it's been talked about before but couldn't find it, not sure if it was a couple of threads back even so will just ask again and then duck for cover!
Did a little job for they who musn't be named yesterday that I had to buy things with a certain date/batch code... what usually happens with what you have to buy? I'm sure it was some sort of sauce that it was talked about before maybe?!? It says I have to keep them until someone tells me whether they want them returned, but just wondered what usually happens, ie has anyone ever had to send anything back anywhere??

I've never had to send anything back but I seem to remember something about you mustn't use it or you can't claim it as an expense for the tax.

And often there is a reason why these products need to be removed from the shelves so I certainly wouldn't consume anything bought!

How true.
I remember one for Japanese products that were all oozing and seeping:eek:

I was thinking about that, as I was wondering what the point in having to buy the stuff. But surely if there was anything majorly wrong then they would have to do more, and do a proper recall as some people would already have bought the dodgy batch?!?

I think these producers use ***** rather than doing a full product recall in order not to draw attention to themselves. Sometimes its just a case of a leaky cap on a product rather than contamination.

I haven't come across those assignments before! Maybe I'm not special enough..

Does anyone know if the jewellery audits for React get marked out of 10? Did 4 on Saturday and my account is saying that payment is pending and I've also received my electronic payslip yet no marks on the site.

Not if they want to keep it quiet!

Monkeynut

Mmm I suppose. I don't know enough about the legalitites of such things!!
Oh well, the more issues with products that companies have, the more they will pay us to buy it!!

Not marked out of 10.
