Travel Hair Dryer worth £15 - Sun Newspaper purchase cost £2.50 - TESCO collect

kazandneil

I got the free hairdryer for my daughter, we used it and after 2 mins sparks flew out of the back, burnt 2 holes in her dressing gown, the burnt holes have what looks like a small spring coil burnt into the dressing gown material, and blew my electrics, these are dam right dangerous, i have emailed the sun and still waiting a reply, i didnt know they had been recalled, when i tried to return to my Tesco they told me to contact the sun,
Free or not it still should not be dangerous.

Just received this from The Sun today:

Padded envelope containing 2 Models Own eyeshadows and a booklet of 10 weeks worth of 10p off Sun Newspaper vouchers (Worth £7 if you get every day like I do), also thye letter has a weeks worth of FREE Sun Newspaper coupons attached.

These are being offered as an alternative to the Travel Hairdryer as they are estimating a wait of up to 4 months for stock to be manufactured.

If you do not accept there is a FREEPOST address to send the package back to(It would fit in a postbox so not a great problem if you do not want to accept).

I think I will probably accept the offer, will wait and see if my daughter wants the eye shadow when she comes home.

posted on praise vent and warnings and now copied here too just in case people missed it :

Just posting here as today after sending back the horrid eyeshadows and moneyoff coupons to use on the Sun paper and saying I would wait out for the hairdryer(which to be honest was looking like I would never get!!) True to their word today I recieved a Remington travel hairdryer its very nice and has dual voltage too! So THANKS Sun - you keep your word

Did you not receive a white jiffy envelope with free Sun coupons, money off coupons and an eye shadow in replacement for a hairdryer - along with a letter explaining what these were for?
