I expect the next generation will want compensation before they even get to Argos, as they could have been involved in a traffic accident on the way there.

And don't forget if they had managed to avoid being in said traffic accident, they 'could have' bought a product which 'could have' been faulty which 'could have' caused serious injury or death.

You Sir have just made up my mind how childish people really are around here. Does your mom and dad know your on the internet and on forums adult's (should be on) ?

Seems its ok for Argos to make mistakes but the people buying the products should be not allowed to make mistakes ? Lets not forget who should be selling safe products here ...

I will look elsewhere next time i need advice, should have known better than to ask "the internet" lol.

You need to base your "claim" on facts. The possible or likely or nearly or maybe situation isn't relevant.

As far as I can see there is no evidence of any injury - regardless of the reason the complainant gives for not seeking medical attention - there simply is nothing here for anyone to compensate for.

But you have already admitted that you know that your local Argos sell products that have been returned because you are "constantly returning items which have obvious signs of use".

So perhaps you should have looked elsewhere to purchase the lights.

You've not answered whst you actually want to happen here. What did you want Argos to do?

May I suggest having your property disconnected from mains electricity. There are many electrical items in a house any one of which could go wrong.

Your house could burn down. As could your entire street. This is before we even get into the danger that gas poses.

What could happen is dangerous territory. Better to be safe than sorry.

what lights were they that she got a shock at presumably 240v, if it wasnt 240v it wouldnt have been much of a problem.

I shop at argos many times per month and we are constantly returning items that have obvious signs of usage.

And here's the answer - they want rid of you as a customer :eek:
