blinged babies- the return

soolin

I only picked this seller up as they are on the community boards moaning that they can't seem to sell anything:

They do make any issues arising from these dreadful things the responsibility of the parent though:
Please note this item has not undertaken any external testing

and before your item is dispatched its throughly checked.
Each ribbon is measured to 8 inches in accordance with the
EU legislation - this is a safety measure to stop baby
wrapping the ribbon around their neck.

and

purchasing this item the buyer assumes all responsibility for its use.

so in other words the seller knows these are dangerous but doesn't think it is their problem!

I was hoping it was going to be the Dior stuff again. F&F baby booties with REAL Dior ribbon.... Or CC bits of metal all over them!

i have one of these, not from this seller though.
i dont think there is anything wrong with what she is saying.
the buyer has chose to purchase so it is their responsibility to make sure it is used safely.
yes i can see potential hazards(and wouldnt buy a metal clip one). but its your baby so look after it?
im guessing she cant sell any as the market is flooded with this sort of thing, and lots of people are selling them locally on facebook as they are relatively easy to make?

How stupid is that for goodness sake. They are made with beads, don't beads come in packaging saying not for under 3's?

Ive recently set up a Facebook page and done a lot of ladders and trains to get some likers and there is absolutely loads of this stuff on Facebook. I dunno why anyone would buy it!

Would anyone give a kid young enough for a dummy a packet of beads to play with? (Although in this day and age I wouldn't be suprised if they did, then they'd want to be suing the seller).

Frankly I am shocked to see even one response on this thread that sees nothing wrong in giving a baby beads.

I agree that these are all over Facebook as well, but then most of the groups I use see nothing odd in decking out babies in complete fake Burberry outfits or posting photos of their newborns in their arms while holding a lit cigarette in their other hand. Maybe I am getting old and babies now are more of a fashion statement than a tiny new life.

i'm in two minds whether to report the listing. if that breaks, and it could that's a real choking hazard. can't believe anyone thinks that these are ok

It seems this isn't even the tip of the iceberg...

I suppose it takes both a dumb seller and a dumber buyer to make this kind of transaction! :silenced:

And all it says in the description is "dummy"! Yeh, for a dummy who buys it........Imagine the consequences if your child choked if the jewels happen to come loose. :eek:
