asda's sunbed accident

Hello just a warning today i was using a foldable sunbed for the second time,i purchased it from asda on the5th of this month.
Whilst moving to get off my hand went straight through the fabric and i sprained my wrist whilst it hit the paving slabs beneath ouch.
I have phoned Asda's main number and was told take it back for a refund i am well within the weight limit for it and was worried it could have been a child who was more seriously injured.Just to warn others :mad:

    Thank you for the observation nomoneytoday i want to try and prevent a child from being hurt,not sit back say nothing and let it happen.I dont know why there is so much sarcasm on here ?

    It was a sunlounger as you and i would call it but on the receipt they call it a sunbed its black and was £15.

    I assume you mean a reclining chair, as surely you wouldn't be using a tanning bed...in this lovely weather?

    As other poster says.....how many children should be encouraged to use loungers anyway. I wouldn't be allowing my kids to cook themselves out in these rays.

    Just get it changed and let your anger go!!

    Life's too short.

    As other poster says.....how many children should be encouraged to use loungers anyway. Do people encourage children to use them? I wouldn't be allowing my kids to cook themselves out in these rays. You wouldn't even allow a child on a sun lounger for 10 seconds?

    Just get it changed and let your anger go!!

    And this sun lounger badly made;)
