If She'd Cut Herself On A Sharp Knife Would You Complain To The Media About That?

 Silly damn question - the answer's almost certainly 'Yes',

Amy, 36, from Norwich, bought the brush online for £4 to "make life easier" with housework, but it caught in her daughter's hair when the child took it out of the box. She reported the item as it appeared on the shopping site to Norfolk Trading Standards, who said Temu had now removed it from sale in the UK.
Amy said that when the brush arrived, her daughter picked it up and "it just came on, the brush flew off.. and just sucked her hair in". "I didn't realise how bad it was at first," she said.

I was puzzled as to the nature of this brush, until I saw the image accompanying this story:  


And I realised I had the very same type of brush, bought from Lidl's home cleaning range. It's motorised, works on battery power and the idea of leaving it where a small child could access it would be unthinkable to me, who doesn't even have - or like - children. 
"I don't want any other child to go through what she's been through."

They probably won't, because not all mothers are fucking stupid or careless... 

A spokesperson for trading standards said Temu's UK representative "voluntarily withdrew" the product to conduct a review of the appliance in line with legal requirements, particularly in relation to warnings and instructions.

As if parents like this one would read any instructions.
