It could have been 'horrific'
A mum and dad have been left angry after a rusty retractable knife fell out of one of the boxes containing a Christmas present for their two-year-old daughter. Martin Sexton and fiancée Kelly Francis were unwrapping presents with their two young children when the knife fell out of the box.
Martin and Kelly had been looking forward to spending Christmas at home in Brackley, Northamptonshire, with Maggie and Archie, three. They’d begun unwrapping a huge pile of presents that included a yellow Peppa Pig campervan for Maggie. “I managed to grab it just before Maggie did. It was just as well I did, as it’s pretty likely Maggie would have put it in her mouth.
After re-checking their receipts, the couple confirmed they had ordered the gift from Studio, an online retailer that is owned by the Studio Retail Group. The company was acquired for £1 by billionaire Mike Ashley’s Frasers Group in February 2022. “There was a void in the bottom of the box where the plastic bindings were tied. Someone probably put the knife down for a second and forgot about it when trimming the ties. When looking at the product in its finished packaging, the knife wasn’t visible at all.”
