  • 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

  • Tesco Why Don’t You Care About Poorer Families

    I have just been messaging Tesco Customer Service Team regarding the disappearance of at least 50% of their Everyday Value Range. I wanted to know what was going on. They have confirmed that they are reducing the range of products they stock and this has meant in reality the Everyday Value range disappearing.

    They have no intention of replacing the range and so I will be forced to spend more or shop elsewhere Tesco Why Don’t You Care About Poorer Families .

    Despite being a loyal Tesco customer for over 15 years, I feel like boycotting them because they are showing so little regard for people who have tight budgets. They obviously don’t want or need the custom.

    Being a single mum to 4 children money is really tight and I have to budget to pay bills and feed my family, I work long hours and still never seem to get a head on my finances.

    The Tesco value range has always been great for me and my family, the children enjoy their meals and always clear their plates, I have tried Aldi and Lidl but they are so far away from where I live.

    I personally feel Tesco are wrong to remove the affordable value range of food from there stores, I for one am struggling to feed the family now on my budget and feel that Tesco literally do not care for  their poorer customers, I know they are a supermarket for profit but they must make some amount of money from the value range and whilst customers who are on a lower budget don’t spend as much they should still be valued customers, I mean one day I may not be this poor and be able to spend more in their store but not now, they have lost my custom and I feel very dishearten with them.

    Some people may say it’s petty to be so annoyed over this but until you have to feed 4 children with limited funds you won’t understand.

  • 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.”

     

  • This Womens Supermarket Complaint Has People Divided!

    One Tesco customer is very unhappy with them and the reason has the public divided.

    When Mandy H Woodroffe checked her Tesco receipt on September 9th she saw something very unexpected.

    Tesco have a charity donation were customers can round up their bill with the money being given to charity.

    Woodroffe however was unaware of this and very surprised to discover 1p has been added to her bill without her knowledge or permission.

    She shared her thoughts on Facebook as can be seen below.

    When has it become legal to take money from a customer without their knowledge or permission, charity round up? We were not informed, not asked or notified so am horrified money has been added to my bill without my permission. This is illegal and i am not happy. Some may say its only 1p? But the amount is not the issue here, it’s fraud

    The comments on this topic have been mixed with some people sympathising while others don’t seem to mind the donation, stating it’s ‘only a penny’.
