Tesco's Colour Corrector Wiped from the shelves

Has anyone else noticed how colour correctors have been eliminated from the shopping aisles/ shelves? I believe they destroyed lots of people's clothes but the manufacturer, not stores who were selling the product, such as Tesco, are willing to take responsibility. I personally lost £300 worth of clothes, mainly my baby's clothes, which by the time they had been inspected (after a long- drawn out and complicated process by Tesco) they can no longer be worn as they were 9-12 months. By the time they'd returned to us, my daughter was 16 months!!!
Not that I'd have put her in those white- washed clothes in any case.
The really frustrating thing is, the supermarket claims we didn't follow the instructions correctly but we did (not prone to lying). Even more frustrating, is the fact that the manufacturer, a well- known stain removal brand, admitted the product was too strong, hence the reason it had been pulled.
Unfortunately the admission came in the form of a phone conversation as opposed to a written confirmation.
Nonetheless, I would like to know how many other people have been affected and howl fully people power/ Martin Lewis will prevail!
Thanks in advance for your cooperation...

You can get a colour corrector???
So does this mean my son could wear white instead of pink clothes again??Should've = Should HAVE (not 'of')
Would've = Would HAVE (not 'of')
No, I am not perfect, but yes I do judge people on their use of basic English language. If you didn't know the above, then learn it! (If English is your second language, then you are forgiven!)0 -

Actually it was the OP who ruined her own clothes - hence the fact that she needed to use a "corrector" in the first place0

Would be more helpful OP if you actually named the product you're writing about.Accept your past without regret, handle your present with confidence and face your future without fear0

Isn't this just a bleach? About a capful in the bath with a bunch of cold water (quantities on the side of the bottle usually - and you need the cheap watery stuff, 40p a bottle, not the thick blue fragranced stuff), slosh it about a bit until it's white again (rubber gloves suggested), then give it a wash.0

Tesco Colour Corrector IS the name. Not exactly exotic but just simply that...0

No, not a bleach, otherwise I would just simply use the cheap version. You can't use bleach on coloured clothes can you? Unless of course you want, as the bright spark in this thread alludes, bleach white clothes!0

So far you appear to be the only one with the problem...so I'd ease back on the
Shouldn't talk about things you don't know about0
