tesco's trollies should carry a heath warning

[henryandlesley]

hi went into tesco to get a few things and my son wouldnt go for a wee in the female toilets he is only 5 so my wife brung him back to where I was and he had a paddy and threw himself on the floor went back and caught his head on the trolly  there was blood every where and they never had a first aid room so took him to the A+E and was there for an hour

Caught his head on one of the welded-on bits of reinforcement or something like that?

Done it myslef and not when I was 5

Trouble is they have to be as cheap as possible.  If folks stopped stealing them it wouldn't be so bad, but I think the price of a trolley would surprise some of us.

That said, Tesco should still be appologising.

I think their wagons also need health warnings. Check out THIS.  :doh:

I would complain about the First Aid kit; accidents happen but I am sure there is requirement for that.

"will the trailer have to 'produce' it's license? will the young man end up in a pickle? will it cause a Jam? it wouldnt have happened if he has took a Lidl care over his vehicle.." :lol:

Good point, any more than 10 staff and there has to be a first aider doesn't there?

[glaggs]

Not sure they're required to have a dedicated first aid room, but they should have qualified first aiders and appropriate kit. IMHO if the wound needed a visit to A+E then thats the best place to be, not in a first aid room with even a good first aider. Accidents happen - especially where kids are concerned - but I'm not sure Tesco are at fault realy.

A couple of weeks ago we to visited Tesco's in Ashford kent. After a few mins of walking around, my wife was pushing our little one in the trolley. She leaned forward to give him a kiss and "CRACK" an electrostatic shock. It made my wifes lips very sore, and Little Toby's face red and swollen. We asked to see a first aider who checked them both over, toby's face looked quite sore and he was crying. I had to ask for it to be reported in the accident book, which had been missing for a few days. I wasnt happy with this, so they took our details, and called us yesterday. Unfortunately we were out, but my wifes going to call them monday.

One point was, a couple of the staff involved said they often hear of people getting shocks, but the manager said "Oh, thats never happened here before"

I am sincerely sorry to read about this accident.

What annoys me is that there are a number of people here that want to condemn Tesco and blame them for everything.... The young lad who had the accident appears to be highly contributory for this accident and therefore should accept the greatest percentage of the blame that this accident even happened at all. I am sorry to be somewhat controvertial here but we should accept ownership for what happens to us and our children and not try to offload onto the likes of Tesco in such a situation.

Before anyone asks.... I have no connection with Tesco [-X

I do agree with that; this is why i don't agree with always trying to claim everytime anything happens; the only people who win are lawyers.

That said I agree with the other comments; there should be facilities. Just because they did not cause the accident doesn't mean they can't learn from it.

I will admit I misread it at first; I didn't realise it said first aid 'room' that is probably a bit much but there should be a designated space.

Tesco's, missing accident books, not unusual going by some of the safety rep's reports I've seen.
Some managers are suspected of locking them away so they can keep them from being used and avoid risking loosing their 'accident free' bonus...

I frequently get shocks from trolleys. What I don't know is whether this is caused by the trolley or whatever clothing I'm wearing at the time. The only way to avoid it is to keep one finger hooked over the metalwork, that way static doesn't get a chance to build up.
