My son's cut open finger on pair of Primark jeans!!!

Poor little boy. I hope he's not going to be traumatised for the rest of his life.
Whilst no one would wish ill on a little boy, for goodness sake stop mollycoddling him! He'll get over it so why don't you? Its only a little cut.
He sounds a lot more robust than the OP.
I bet he was probably sharpening the button himself for devilment

A little cut that required 2 stitches.

My mom bought my little lad (4) 2 pairs of jeans from Primark about 2 moths ago. All ok - he had a pair on the other day and he came to me with his thumb pouring with blood and he said he cut it on his jeans! :mad:

Two month ago - was this the first time he'd worn them?
If not, maybe the jeans were damaged in the wash.

You mention two pairs of jeans.
Are they the same design?

If so, what is the button on the other pair like?

I think talking of a product recall at this stage is a little premature.

I suppose the OP could ask Primark to refund the cost of the plaster.

even tony hancock got tea and biscuits and he only gave a pin !!!!! of blood
maybe OP could ask primark to open up their canteen to OP for lashings of hot tea and jammy dodgers for her and son,maybe also demand 10 minutes on a megaphone in the car park to warn other mummsies of the dangers of 10 bob jeans from primark too too

of course the alternative is to buy named products in future from fashionable higher street stores but of course boys grow out of their clothes so quickly these days

Its not worth compensation but the rest of you should be ashamed.
Whatever happened the little kid got hurt.
No point trying to blame someone (esp the parent) for an accident.
Im sure any parent would be just as upset/angry if it were their child.

Ashamed? no!
In real life, he would have had a big cuddle and explain that these things happen so he must try and learn and try to be careful it doesn't happen again.
Everything has become so safe, clinical and "someone will pay for this" mentality that we're already breeding a whole generation of whimps.
The very fact that people write on these forums looking for sympathy/compensation or demanding ridiculous frivolous claims is rather gaulling.
I have lots of sympathy with the genuine ones who come here for advice but very little for drama queens that blow things out of all proportion.
Had he fallen off his bike or off a wall his injuries could have been a lot worse. All kids have accidents, thats life.
This is nothing more than a little domestic mishap and I'm sure the little boy will be fine and his mum will watch out for things like this in the future with or without the sychophantic fawning that goes on here sometimes.
So no, I'm not in the slightest bit ashamed and I'm sure the little boy will grow up an untraumatised and well rounded young man.

I agree with what you said but I feel that the shop should offer a small amount of compensation for the distress caused.

Shops should ensure that products that they sell are safe and I do believe that compensation should be offered sometimes. If people on here are prepared to put up with rubbish then that's up to them.

How can a kid be careful when handling very sharp buttons? It's Primark's responsibility to make sure their clothes don't injure the wearer.
