Pornographic Drawings found inside my Brand New TV box

Hello i wonder if anyone can help me, i recently purchased a brand new LG TV from Currys, the box was fully sealed and i got it home and unboxed it. The thing is that out of the box dropped a piece of paper, not thinking anything of it i started setting up the tv. The paper was picked up by my 4 year old daughter who started asking whats this whats this. I took it from her and to my horror contained a series of drawings of male body parts in graphic detail. I went back to the store but they couldnt be held responsible as the box was sealed. I got onto LG who have given me a reply of £50 for my inconvenience. Where do i stand in taking this further, its not that i want a new tv or more money but surely my 4 year old is worth more that £50 and the fact she saw that is totally appauling to me. any help would be great thats

    well if you don't want more money what DO you want?

    and when she asked what it was what did you tell her?
    I would have said 'just a silly drawing' and thrown it away...
    Personally I think you're lucky LG believed you and gave you the £50!

  • I am sure a bigger cheque will make her feel better.

    She's forgotten it already.

    Wow cant believe you got 50 quid for that!!

    Lucky you.

    Heres a tip, your childs innocence is likely to be chipped away at a lot more by the TV you bought and what she will inevitably see on it, than any silly drawing.

    Take care with your purchase!

  • Come on people it's so obviously a troll - why are you rising to this drivel?
  • do you want them to fund counselling? Or do you think the drawings are worth more than £50?
