Lol. Good luck with the complaint though. It's the consumers that stand by and do nothing that ruin the stretchy Homers for the rest of us!

Quote of the day surely? I feel a new sig coming on

Surely you write to the manufacturer?

Yes, I might do that too, figured I'd go to Fox first to complain that they let such a shoddy toy bare their name

Should write to whoever you bought it from.

Sadly girlfriend purchased it for my birthday and for some reason (that runs through her entire family) didn't keep receipt...or even the original box)

Well, if I had been abusing it or anything then I'd just take it ont he chin but to split after literally 10 minutes of gentle use I'm thoroughly unimpressed, and as such feel I want to do something about it.

Lol, nah it' a genuine one she and her family just have very strange way with things when they buy them for example, her mum got me some dvds for my birthday a few years ago. I opened them and already had one of them. When asked if she still had the receipt, she didn't having got rid of it before she'd even given me the dvds... very odd indeed, they're like it with all sorts of things, it's truely bonkers.

Yes, very strange....*strokes chin*.

Is it just me that thnks it's wierd to throw away receipts for things they bought? There have been several occasions when things have broken and they've not been able to take them back because they throw away receipts etc immediately

If you're referring to the outrage of a stretchy toy that breaks when gently stretched..then yes, it is outrageous!!!

Am i over reacting...maybe a little but I do feel that as a consumer I have a right to expect a product to perform the task it is intended for and when it doesn't I am within my rights to complain.

Robbo · 28 Apr 2010 at 10:13

There is only one thing to do in these circumstances.....

Contact The Daily Mail.

I'd imagine it's no problem. They just go and 'acquire' a new one. Unless of course the locks have been changed.

Gee, that is a very serious problem you have mate. It doesn't stretch fully when its pulled? It breaks! Have you seen a doctor about it?

They would help if a family of 12 on income support was buying them.

The Dread Pirate · 28 Apr 2010 at 10:24

This is why you should ALWAYS keep the reciept!

lazer46 · 28 Apr 2010 at 10:25

You could go and see the factory in China where it was more than likely made and then argue with the manager about quality control?

Insinuating my girlfriends family are a bunch of thieves... I can assure you they are not!!

I can see headlines in Chinese newspaper:

"English man fights to the death because he could not stretch it fully!"

I know somebody like this, I went to setup a wireless router for them, got there to find he been sent the wrong one to find he had already disposed of all the packaging and reciepts without the thing ever being turned on or tested, wierd.
