  • ICandy Serious Safety Warning

    * WARNING : ICANDY ORANGE OWNERS *

    Anyone who owns an iCandy Orange pushchair please please visit the icandy website and check if your batch is one which has a safety warning.

    At the weekend, our little 21 month old princess got her finger trapped in the ‘safety cross bar’ on the pushchair! I’m not one to exaggerate, but believe me when I say the end of her finger was almost sliced off. We were on a bank holiday weekend away and were having a family day at Twin Lakes when this happened. It was such a traumatic experience and I still feel physically sick and can’t get it out of my head. The thought of what our little girl went through, I can’t even comprehend.

    We’ve had our pushchair for 2 years, but icandy were only aware of this manufacturing fault in January (this year). Apparently John Lewis (where we brought ours) and mothercare were notified and we should have been made aware of the problem and issued with a new safety bar….we were NOT made aware and NEVER received a replacement bar. John lewis do not have this recall on their website. The fault is a missing safety cap!

    Our girl has a fractured index finger bone and a severe wound. I decided not to post a photo of the finger itself, as it is extremely disturbing. However, these 2 photos are of my little girls blood ridden outfit and my t shirt…this gives you some idea of the severity of the injury.

    If you know anyone with an early model of the icandy orange…please make them aware immediately. Thanks for reading…

  • Company Scam Please Be Aware

    I recently fell for a scam on Facebook and purchased a cleaning product called Multifunctional All purpose Effervescent cleaning spray from a Facebook company called Oderby.

    The product states it can clean the bottom of your pots and pans and bring them up like new. The video on their web page also shows someone cleaning an oven with it, which looks amazing afterwards.
    The product takes 4 weeks to arrive and when it does arrive the spray bottle is missing, there are no instructions, and there are 10 white tablets.
    I tried the product which does not work, it’s complete lies. Once you have purchased the item the company blocks you from contacting them via Facebook, and stops you from warning others.
    Luckily I managed to get a full refund from PayPal, but I just wanted to warn others about this scam.
    This was the first time I’ve ever purchased an item from Facebook, and I’m shocked at how these companies are still allowed to sell products through Facebook.

    The company is Oderby. Their website is Oderby.com
    Please be careful when purchasing items from Facebook. If it looks too good to be true… it most likely is!

  • Mum Warns Others To Be Careful With These Shoes

    Kelly Barnes took to Facebook to warn other mums about Tescos Jelly shoes, the soft plastic shoes are often worn on sunny days down at the beach so are designed to be worn without socks.

    Barnes said “this is the result of my poor 19 month old boys foot!! After wearing tesco jelly sandals twice… this is the metal that attached the buckle on the inside of the sandal! If anyone else has purchased these please be careful and keep an eye on your little ones feet! I thought I had finally found footwear he would keep on! Or not now! “

    In the photos you can clearly see where the metal part which holds the strap in place is slightly raised and has caused it to rub on the toddlers ankle causing it to bled and cause pain.

    We are unaware if Kelly Bares has contacted Tescos to inform them of the problem, this could be a one off as the shoe could be faulty however if they are all the same many other children may experience blistering and or bleeding, if this does occur we advise that you contact Tesco and let them know.

    Do you own a pair of these Jelly shoes? Have you had an issue with them or has your child been absolutely fine, we would like to hear your experiences with Tesco Jelly shoes.

    To share your own story, want to raise awareness of any topic or would like us to look into something or wish to advertise on Mums advice Facebook page and or our website please send us an emai to mumsadviceltd@outlook.com

  • The Best Product Review Ever Written

    This is an actual product review about Veet hair removal by a man on  amazon.co.uk

    After having been told my danglies looked like an elderly Rastafarian I decided to take the plunge and buy some of this as previous shaving attempts had only been mildly successful and I nearly put my back out trying to reach the more difficult bits. Being a bit of a romantic I thought I would do the deed on the missus’s birthday as a bit of a treat.

    I ordered it well in advance and working in the North Sea I considered myself a bit above some of the characters writing the previous reviews and wrote them off as soft office types…Oh, my fellow sufferers how wrong I was. I waited until the other half was tucked up in bed and after giving some vague hints about a special surprise I went down to the bathroom. Initially, all went well and I applied the gel and stood waiting for something to happen. I didn’t have long to wait.

    At first, there was a gentle warmth which in a matter of seconds was replaced by an intense burning and a feeling I can only describe as like being given a barbed wire wedgie by two people intent on hitting the ceiling with my head. Religion hadn’t featured much in my life until that night but I suddenly became willing to convert to any religion to stop the violent burning around the turd tunnel and what seemed like the destruction of the meat and two veg.

    Struggling not to bite through my bottom lip I tried to wash the gel off in the sink and only succeeded in blocking the plughole with a mat of hair. Through the haze of tears I struggled out of the bathroom across the hall into the kitchen, by this time walking was not really possible and I crawled the final yard to the fridge in the hope of some form of cold relief.

    I yanked the freezer drawer out and found a tub of ice cream, tore the lid off and positioned it under me. The relief was fantastic but only temporary as it melted fairly quickly and the fiery stabbing returned. Due to the shape of the ice cream tub, I hadn’t managed to give the starfish any treatment and I groped around in the draw for something else as I was sure my vision was going to fail fairly soon.

    I grabbed a bag of what I later found out was frozen sprouts and tore it open trying to be quiet as I did so. I took a handful of them and tried in vain to clench some between the cheeks of my arse. This was not doing the trick as some of the gel had found its way up the chutney channel and it felt like the space shuttle was running its engines behind me.

    This was probably and hopefully the only time in my life I was going to wish there was a gay snowman in the kitchen which should give you some idea of the depths I was willing to sink to in order to ease the pain. The only solution my pain crazed mind could come up with was to gently ease one of the sprouts where no veg had gone before.

    Unfortunately, alerted by the strange grunts coming from the kitchen the other half chose that moment to come and investigate and was greeted by the sight of me, arse in the air, strawberry ice cream dripping from my bell end pushing a sprout up my arse while muttering “ooooh that feels good” Understandably this was a shock to her and she let out a scream and as I hadn’t heard her come in it caused an involuntary spasm of shock in myself which resulted in the sprout being ejected at quite some speed in her direction.

    I can understand that having a sprout fired against your leg at 11 at night in the kitchen probably wasn’t the special surprise she was expecting and having to explain to the kids the next day what the strange hollow in the ice cream didn’t improve my status…so to sum it up, VEET removes hair, dignity, and self-respect!

  • Baby Sleep Aids Killing Babies, Don’t Use This Product

    British supermarkets such as Tesco’s, high street retailers and online firms are selling baby sleep positioners despiteserious health warnings, while hundreds of listings were still on eBay despite the firm vowing to remove them from their site.

    British supermarkets, high street retailers and online firms are selling the products, also called “nests” or “anti-roll” cushions, despite warnings that they could cut off a baby’s oxygen and causing 12 known deaths in the US.

    The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is reminding parents and caregivers not to put babies in sleep positioners. These products—sometimes also called “nests” or “anti-roll” products—can cause suffocation (a struggle to breathe) that can lead to death.The two most common types of sleep positioners feature raised supports or pillows (called “bolsters”) that are attached to each side of a mat, or a wedge to raise a baby’s head. The positioners are intended to keep a baby in a specific position while sleeping and are intended for infants under 6 months old.

    To reduce the risk of sleep-related infant deaths, including accidental suffocation and Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS), the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that infants sleep on their backs, positioned on a firm, empty surface. This surface should not contain soft objects, toys, pillows, or loose bedding.

    Safety Advice for Putting Babies to Sleep.

    NEVER use infant sleep positioners. Using this type of product to hold an infant on his or her side or back is dangerous.

    NEVER put pillows, blankets, loose sheets, comforters, or quilts under a baby or in a cot. These products also can be dangerous. Babies don’t need pillows and adequate clothing—instead of blankets—can keep them warm.

    ALWAYS keep cots and sleeping areas bare. That means you should also never put soft objects or toys in sleeping areas.

    ALWAYS place a baby on his or her back at night and during nap time. An easy way to remember this is to follow the ABCs of safe sleep: “Alone on the Back in a bare Crib.”
