i like the part where you say this :- Panic of my life was an understatement! but your first thought was to go on facebook and twitter

I feel like a bloody idiot as I didnt listen to my gut on something

what was your gut telling you then?

You never know with parents tbh. They seem to worry about risks the media tell them to worry about (sugar in fruit shoots for example) rather than things that have far more strict guidelines (ie phones not being given to kids under 12 or allowing kids even pre-school age to play 18 rated games).

I give in , 18 is 18 not 17.5 , 12 or 6 ,




18

hi everyone

i really feel like crying right now as I feel like a bloody idiot as I didnt listen to my gut on something now someone elses kid could get reallly hurt or killed

It started off with dinner i had frozen skinless boneless fish peices from asda one of my kids favs, we get them a lot but my daughter screams starts coughing and pulls out this massive bone over an inch long. Panic of my life was an understatement!

I go on facebook and twitter as I couldnt believe it with pics etc of the bone anyway i get in touch with asda via email and i tweeted the pic etc to them who proceed to tell me they cant look into it without the packaging and the bone

I thought right at that moment this dont seem right but they insisted and i thought if it stops another child being hurt or killed I will do what they want so they look into it.

so i sellotape the bone to the packaging and staple it to a covering letter hand it in get a refund and that was that or so I thought

asda arer now saying 1. they dont have the bone so no investigation will be held

2. basically saying i didnt hand the bone in, i told them where it was they got the woman who took it off me that day to phone me stating i didnt show her the bone

I said 1. you read the accompanying letter i told you they wouldn't investigate the bone without this ie meaning the packaging and bone but shes and her colleagues are saying no one saw it the only proof i have is a few photos.

asda have now washed there hands but i feel like crying as I know something went really wrong for that massive bone to get in her fish take a look in the pic below






what do I do now? who do i get in touch with I really need some guidance now

so dissapointed in asda i really am

what really bugs me is they are basically saying i made it up and im lying about handing the bone in. but how can they refund me me without proof the item was defected you know? im so angry

thanks for reading

We were brought up in a nation where fish is in abundance. We didn't have supermarket cleaned processed packaged fish. The fishmonger brought it to our doorstep. It was always full of bones. Our parents never removed the bones. It was cut in pieces (the same with whole chicken) and cooked. If a child choked on a fish bone and he/she couldn't get it out, we were given a ball of cooked rice to swallow. That always sorted the bone. I have already taught my 8 yr old how to look out for bones in fish, chicken, crab or in anything really. Children are amazing in adapting to all kinds of food. Just show them the right technique to eat them.

What a massive over-reaction.

No wonder the OP deleted her posts.

Yes I was told my parents to be careful when eating fish as bones can be a problem. I took the word and ate carefully.

Yes, it certainly does warn about the possibility of bones.

Safety Warning

Warning: Extra care has been taken to remove bones, although some may remain.

At least someone is thinking of the children......

I think I once found some turkey in a Bernard Matthews Turkey Twizzler. The shock nearly killed me!
