Is this possible?A nail inside this pack and then brought out through the straw?
''Hello. Compliments of the season. Kindly indulge me with few minutes of your precious time. I beg of you to please read through.
On Oct. 27th, I purchased a carton of the Chi Happy Hour drink from High Steps Stores,18 ojodu abiodun road, Berger, Lagos. On Friday, Nov., my little daughter took a pack and drank it half way then gave my niece who lives with me. My niece drank from it and a nail sipped right into her mouth through the straw! Yes, a NAIL! In the drink meant for little children.(See pictures shortly)
We, I, (with my lawyer), have paid a visit to Chi Ltd, sent a couple of letters with series of mails. And guess what? The company doesn't give hoot about it.
We received their 1st and only letter on Friday, 20th Nov., simply because we copied NAFDAC in our last letter. And their letter was void of any form of empathy or concern whatsoever.
Ordinarily, I would move on, carry on with my life since no one swallowed d nail. But this one question keeps creeping through my mind: what if one of the kids had swallowed the nail? What if?
I desire at the very least a bit of empathy from the company. I desire to be assured that the workers and management of the company are not robots but humans and are able to understand my feelings as a mother. It is not always about money. My needs are met, God has been awesomely faithful to my family and I. But for God, our story here would be different. So, no, it's not the money at all.
It appears Nigerians are expected to sleep on their rights. To shrug it off and just move on. But no, things have changed. Business isn't always as usual any longer. Trust me, this isn't a matter for the courts. Being a lawyer, I know how this works. So, no, it's not for the courts. I need you to PLEASE join me in this battle. Please give it as much publicity as it lies within your power to give. Thank you''.

Being so busy since, wishing you all a prosperous 2016

Imagine the nonsense. What is wrong with these companies these days? Esp companies that package drinks/food? If the child had swallowed the nail, trust me, they'd have denied it was their fault. Yes I agree that they should be blacklisted to serve as a deterrent to other careless entities like them. Enough is enough.
DeleteIf they are not feeding us food poisoning thru their expired products, they are selling unregistered adulterated groceries.
All I had in my mind this holiday was what could be hidden in the juice packs we were all drinking. As I've seen all sorts from people who find dirt and insects in packaged drinks. Msheeeewww
Oh please... Another strategy to run an Igbo business down . Una easy ohh
DeleteI have bought enough bad caprisoone in ds life time. If it's nt soured it has mucus or the pack is swollen like it has 5 pregnant rats living in it. I have warned my kids no drinking that shit if people like let them call me proud. Na me sabi Wetin I don use eye see. To think I buy cartons from distributors oh. If u want to die early kkeep drinking chi products.
DeleteAnon Igbo business abi when people's lives are at stake. Carry ur yeye tribalism go front joor.
DeleteIs at stake*
DeleteWe should stop giving our kids packaged drinks biko. Self made juice or the fruits itself or water.
DeleteIf this child had swallow this nail. Thank God.
Poster, I fear for you. You don't have a case, I fear you can't defend this.
Best of luck.
@ anon 11:56, is CHI an Igbo biz? Biaa don't add tribe to this abeg...even if its an igbo biz, watz right is right, wuz wrong is wrong...
DeleteChivita is not owned by igbos please
DeleteDon't be ignorant
It's owned by Indians
All product under chi is owned by Indians like gala, juice, 5alive and many more
Be guided
Funny.. Maybe shops are selling the pirated Abi fake one. No b so last year China bring fake Coca-Cola come.. Make company no go suffer wetin evil people do. Many fake caprisone out there.
DeleteGala is uac foods oh or am I wrong? "If I was a boy" why wld pple call u proud??? I don't get the connection from stopping ur kids drinking caprisonne and pride *confused*
Delete5 alive is coca-cola pls
DeleteOmgggggg
DeleteChi has a sausage roll to and juice. Just like every noodles is called indomie I think that's why he's calling them gala and 5alive. I can't stop laughing sha
DeleteHiaan. Nawa o
ReplyDeleteThis is serious. Thank God the nail didn't slide through. Lord have mercy o.
ReplyDeleteUna don start with yeye stories. Members of BV...I rest my case.
ReplyDeleteUr brain is dead!! U don't have a child and don't intend having one right?
DeleteGod protect us all
ReplyDeleteChivita products again?
ReplyDeleteNot surprised @all. Awon chivita e kuku ni pa yan.
ReplyDeleteSDK it's possible coz the straw looks like it's the big type and the nail is tiny.
DeleteNawao
Isn't the nail suppose to be at the bottom of the drink??
DeleteMetals float??
Hmmm! I doubt the possibility of this
ReplyDeleteI doubt it.
Deletelie of the year. how can a straw pick a nail from dt small pact,was the nail standing or waz it positioned upright or what.its too early to think of bringing other people down just because they need money. thank God for life this new year and not being a tool for the devil to use
DeleteOga abi Madam, b sure ur children were not playing with nails. And that no one gave them nails.
DeleteWith all d health alerts in d world today, it is disheartening dat parents still give their children these sugar/coulouring/preservatives laced drinks.
Let them drink water... if these is a nail in it, u will definitely see it before they start drinking.
Anyways, sorry. U now have the sympathy from me for get about Chi d Indian Company. Don't buy again, just buy pure water. I ghotago?

Na wa
ReplyDeleteThis is called negligence....this is one of the reasons why I don't take Nigerian made juices. Even if I have to, I pour it in a clear glass. Thank God your niece didn't swallow it.
ReplyDeleteMy dear, there's nothing like natural fruit juice.
DeleteMy dear, there's nothing like natural fruit juice.
DeleteAnonymous, there's something like natural fruit juice. I make my juice myself.
DeleteI don't use straw, more reason I don't take packaged juice.
@Laafresh, I think the anon is supporting the fresh/natural fruit juice comment. Like s/he is concurring.
DeleteThnk God d nail wasn't swallowed by anybody o.
ReplyDeleteIt is only God dt protects us in dis country.
I doubt it's possible. Hope you are not trying to play a fast one.
ReplyDeleteoyibo
To what end na? So someone will just wake up one day and decide that they want to make trouble with a juice company? Biko let's be reasonable.
DeleteSue them. That's how ribena was claiming that their drink contains lots of vitamins and when it was taken to the lab and tested it came out empty just water, sugar and flavour.
ReplyDeleteI don't know what the problem of Nigerian mothers is. Give your children natural fruits or juice it yourself.
DeleteWe prefer the already made "chemicallised" ones out of laziness and show offs. If I know I'm busy to prepare fruit juice for my kids, I just give them water to school. And when some sees you do that they think it's because you are broke and can't afford the poisons they give their kids.
And some people will still go and buy cartons now that kids will soon resume. Mtchew....wicked parents!
Before? Zobo all the way.
DeleteEnd time drink
ReplyDeleteNa wa o
ReplyDeleteThis is really bad. In all we give thanks to God for the kids.
ReplyDeleteLola, please, please and please... Just listen to yourself. Talk with the kids again and you'd find out you've just been kidded.
ReplyDeleteHmmmm... Na wao
ReplyDeleteJust negodu! Madam don't relent abeg. Meanwhile what is Nafdac doing about it? They should be taught a bitter lesson.
ReplyDeleteNonsense!
Can a nail go thru a Straw? The company's attitude was too cold.

The nail wouldn't float ,it would stay down so a little girl will suck the nail out? Well it is Naija so anything can happen.....Chi or whatever company you are try and make your drinks and standard at par , it is the only way to stay above competition
DeleteWhere do u people buy your drinks from .I don't believe all this lies again. Na only una dey buy drink wey get comma
ReplyDeleteHmmmmmnnnn
ReplyDeleteHow is this possible?
ReplyDeleteHow can a metallic substance pass through the straw? With which pressure? Mhmmm, where are my physics textbooks Biko? The nail should be resting at d base of d juice pack. Abi?
ReplyDeleteI am wondering d same thing...how was d nail able to stand straight and go thru d straw??? Madam Lola,pls sit ur niece down and ask her seriously. Maybe she has d nail in her mouth and when u asked her she had to lie that it came frm d pack out of fear.
DeleteNail ke cement nkor? Mtewwww fake jist.
ReplyDeleteAgain? Ok
ReplyDeleteThis is incredible!
ReplyDeleteThis is incredible!
ReplyDeleteI mayb wrong..i dnt blve a nail cal go thru a straw.. sorry madam
ReplyDeleteI've even done a practical with d one I've at home..its not possible madam change ur hustle
DeleteI've even done a practical with d one I've at home..its not possible madam change ur hustle
DeleteNew year,new hustle!!
DeleteMadam,pure physics,nail is density friendly...d weight of dat nail cannot be drawn with the straw, now let me ask,was the nail in a standing position?I doubt it cos a jail cannot stand in water..if it was standing by the wall of can der is still no way it would fit itself into d straw..let dis not be a case of bush meat go catch d hunter cos if they follow up this matter u will be one apologizing for ruining the company's name
ReplyDeleteLies....a nail can't pass thru..question ur self again.
ReplyDeletePOSTER PLEASE CONTACT ME...YOUR CONTACT DETAILS HAS BEEN REQUESTED FOR BY THE COMPANY.
ReplyDeleteStella please make sure u let us know how they sort this case out. Thanks
DeleteHmmmm but how could that nail pass through the straw, madam fear God. The nail should lie down flat out at the bottom of the pack, how come it was able to move up the straw.
ReplyDeleteNonsense lie
ReplyDeleteTo kill competition...
Choose another hustle please
ReplyDeleteNail can't float
Nail can't be sucked thru straw
Nail would be at the bottom of the juice Pack
Unless it was poured in a glass cup will I believe this but thru straw??
Please don't make physic student come here with theories
I have only seen reports of strange substances in the juice packs, what does NAFDAC do about these unhealthy reports. These companies should be slammed with heavy law suits.
ReplyDeletePls producers shd be extremely careful because they r dealing with human`s live
ReplyDeleteI rest my case for all those who said it is impossible, because believe it or no, IT DID HAPPEN. All I have to say is: "eni to kan, l'omo."
ReplyDeleteWait till you have your own experience. I just pray it isn't worse!
For clarity, here's what happened: the nail is a very tiny nail. the type a shoe maker would use. And as per pressure, while I may not be a science guru, I know sufficient pressure from the mouth of a teenager through the straw would draw up a tiny nail. on whether it could have passed through the straw - IT DID!
ReplyDeleteFor those who see this as a hustler looking for money: ask yourself, would you wake up one morning and decide to tell an unbelievable lie to make money??? I would rather a very convincing lie (say I found a maggot or a roach). so that this appears unbelievable is the very reason you should believe it, and it's really not a crime that you don't... I probably wouldn't too... but IT HAPPENED.
