    Hello all,

    I have a query regarding a product that I purchased two weeks ago. The product is a popular brand of crisps and the problem that I had with the product is that it was so powerfully over seasoned with vinegar that the following morning I had skin lifting from the inside of my lips. This is the second time that this has happened in maybe 3 months.

    As this was the second time I phoned the company and they seemed to take the matter seriously, they claimed to not receive my initial email which was sent the morning after I ate the product. I still have this email to prove that it was sent on the day I informed the company representative as he claimed to not have received it? He said that he would send me out a self addressed envelope so that I could post the product back to them for analysis.

    I received the jiffy bag today along with a letter and some vouchers totalling £6. In all honesty I don't think that the amount is enough , I don't want to come across as greedy but in this instance with how serious the effect was from eating their product I would have thought that they would take the matter a little more seriously and vouchers to spend on some more of their products(s) seems like they're not that fussed.

    Your advise is greatly appreciated.

    So you have had this problem before and yet you bought them again and had the same reaction.Do not eat them again!Change brands or flavours,

    Buy plain unsalted crisps. Salt & vinegar Pringles take the skin off my lips, so i don't eat them.
  • Tell me the brand please, I love S&V that do that, Disco's were once good but not anymore, although recently my addiction has been for S&V Jacob Crinkles!

    Why don't you donate £5 to a charity which gives Christmas presents to terminally ill children ?

    That way you'll be £1 up and you will have done something useful :)

    As this was the second time
    This is where you lose credibility, you actually let it happen again, more fool you.
