  • 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…

  • Mothercare You Absolute Disgrace It Could Have Been Fatal

    Chloe App has taken to Facebook to warn others of a potential danger to babies.

    App said “Mothercare you absolute DISGRACE you should be ashamed to still keep this baby grow on the shelves that could have been fatal to my 6 month daughter! Luckily I never leave my daughter unattended at anytime I’m so grateful as she wouldn’t be here today as I turned round from washing the dishes to find her purple choking on the attachment shown on this picture in my hand

    It came detached from the baby grow I should make you all aware my daughter was over 6 weeks premature and still doesn’t have a single tooth !!

    Mothercare You Absolute Disgrace It Could Have Been Fatal
    Mothercare You Absolute Disgrace It Could Have Been Fatal

    After returning this item back For investigation I’m advised the baby-grow is fine as cotton was still attached to the detachment and they will stay on the shelves but they will monitor them for more complaints but was happy to refund the buyer (was bought as a gift)

    After asking mothercare to re consider looking into the baby grow today I’ve received my baby grow back

    Thankyou for your appalling response and causing me so much upset and distress I will never purchase items from you ever again

    Parents PLEASE DONT PURCHASE THIS ITEM.

    App has received a lot of feedback on her post but at present Mothercae aren’t taking it to seriously.

    One lady commented saying “So Mothercare are going to wait until lots of babies have choked before taking action, I’m appalled they have responded to you like this Chloe, they are meant to be a store to help mothers and babies not cause potential harm”.

    Others have also stated that they have this baby grow and had no issues what so ever with it and even claimed maybe  it was just through over tumble drying the outfit and making the design weak.

     

  • Primark Candle Risk of Fire

    A lady named Jenny Ferneyhough has taken to Facebook to warn others about primark candles and the high risk of fire.

    This is a candle I bought in Primark Manchester for £5 on Saturday. I am concerned that it poses a risk to the safety of anyone who owns one, and I have emailed Primark suggesting they recall them. In the meantime, I would be grateful if we could spread the word so that no one is put at risk by this. #primark
