The Illminster Tesco has two rather casual signs hanging outside it at the moment announcing product recalls. The first is for a range of mugs which may break when the come into contact with boiling water. The second is for a baby harness on which the clips may unintentionally come undone. Both of these design flaws seem amusingly fundamental and potentially catastrophic to the user.
For returning either product Tesco is very graciously giving a full refund (£0.49 for the mugs, and £5.68 for the baby harness). But the question that I really want to know the answer to is whether they will discontinue the products or simply repackage. After all, I imagine that to produce such bargain priced products they must be produced in rather large quantities. They can't save
all that money just by skipping the testing process can they?
I'll definitely be keeping an eye out in store for “Coffee Mugs (product not for use with hot water)” and “Baby Harness (product not for use with real babies)” ;)
