Razor blade left in bathroom after repairs

Riversong

So we had some work done in our bathroom today and one of the engineers left a great big sharp three inch open blade. I have children under two. If either had got hold if it they could be seriously hurt. I raise a complaint and hear nothing.

Give them, say, 14 days to reply. If they don't, then send another letter and a copy of your first one. Give them 7 days to reply. If they don't, send another reminder letter and copies of the previous two. Repeat as necessary.

the MOST important thing is that the children were NOT hurt

I agree! It really scared me as my youngest was sat on the bathmat (as he does when i brush my teeth etc.) when i found it. Im just so glad he didn't get hold of it. It doesn't even bear thinking about

What is it you want? You need to work it out and spell it out. Do you want compo? You're ineligible. Best you'll get is a 'whoops, never mind eh love, nobody was hurt' - is it worth the stress for a 'whoops'?

I don't want compo. I want to make sure it doesn't happen again to others. I'm leaving this thread now I can see I'm just going to get flamed.

well this doesn't make sense either

lets be honest here trader made a mistake
if he sends you a written apology you might use it against him
if he phones then he may be frightened you would scream at him

lets be honest here,you as parent/guider should have checked room after tradesman left

Well to be fair, it only happened today so you shouldn't be surprised you've not had a reply!

At the end of the day it was a mistake....try to remember not to go overboard on it.

Too late already!

A 3 inch razor blade? Do you mean a cut-throat razor?
