I had the biggest fright of my life!!!!!!

Comment Published at 04:4004:4032 comments32 comments32 Visits32 VisitsReport

Ohhhhhhhh boy, i will start off by saying we got home late tonight after going and seeing some great friends that live nearly 2 hrs away,it rained all the way there and all the way back, Myah crying in the back of the car for the last 40minutes of the trip so we decided to get some take out which we dont do very often with the 6 of us!!!

So we got my eldest to go get us all some takeout (not sure if i should say where) adn it cost us nearly 60 bucks! Everyone had finished eating their nice warm meal and mine was left for me while i was getting Myah down for her sleep. I came back to chomp in as i was so hungry,didnt have lunch, and a few bites in i all of a sudden couldnt breathe!!! I wasnt sure what was going on and i was gasping and realized i was choking!!!!!!!!!!! Ben my son was sitting in front of me and my hubby Brendan was watching tv when i was kicking the floor. Ben turned around and found me nearly passed out and said my mouth looked like it was starting to go blue and grabbed my mouth and reached in to the back of my throat and what seemed to be a long time to both him and i he found something lodged and somehow got it out. It was a piece of plastic that was about 40mm long and was quite  firm. I am so thankful for my sons quick thinking, im not sure what would have happened,i have never never felt that feeling of not been able to breathe. I couldnt talk, i couldnt breathe ,i couldnt think......We are waiting for a call from the manager of the store as i speak. What should i do??? What should happen,should i take it further???? I know one thing, i will never buy from there again!!! Has anyone had similar happen?? What did you do??

I feel like my son saved my life tonight...i know that sounds emotional but it was his quick thinking that gotthat plastic out for me to breathe again.....thank you my boy.........

 from a very thankful mummy .........Na xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

 What an hero your son Ben is....good on you Ben. This had to be an horrid ordeal for you...could not imagine how that feeling of not being able to breathe...felt like...sincerely hope you never experience it again.

I'm sure you could take this further especially hoe dangerously close this ordeal was ( just think what would have happened if you had been on your own, scary  thought).....I would be taking photo's of the containers...the piece of plastic and of you.....write down time & date....just in case you need .

I wish you all the best, with the phone call your waiting on.

Cheers Janice xxxx

I wish you the best of luck, when the phone call comes.

I dont think it has been delt with the right way tho...thye gave us back our money and then sacked the young boy and passed the buck onto the ppl that they get their supplies from, They said because the plastic was a torn piece it didnt come from them,if that was the case why did they sack the young boy???? Shezzzzz i dont know.......

Re: I had the biggest fright of my life!!!!!!

That would of been terrifying. A friend of mine had  simular experience and was asked to send it in. So without thinking they did and nothing came of it. When he called them up they refused to do anything saying where is the proof. So keep hold of it and maybe speak to a lawyer or the police or something because they will be able to tell you what avenue is best.

One very clever quick thinking boy you got there.

Re: I had the biggest fright of my life!!!!!!

wow I am glad you are ok. I agree you need to call DoFT and make a report. This may happen again and next time it might end differently, especially when you think of how many parents just give their child a happy meal box or whatever in the back of the car. This should be investigated more thoroughly.

Re: I had the biggest fright of my life!!!!!!

Gosh, that is scary.  Who did you get your food through?  I'd not be at all surprise if you said KFC, because I used to work for them, and they were pretty lazy when it came to safety practices.

Glad you are ok now though.  Must have been quite a fright all round, You have a very quick thinking son there and he did the right thing to help you.

I see further down that Winnie is talking about their Trading Standards place in the Uk, in Australia, we have the Department Of Fair Trading that deal with things like this.  And if it is a major fast food chain like McDonald's or KFC, then they love giving them a rap over the knuckles.  Ok, was going to give you a link to them, but don't know what state you are in, so will give the link to my google search instead.  DFTGoogleSearch

My other half also says you should lodge a formal complaint with your local Health Department too.  DHGoogleSearch  again,k way too many states to choose from! lol.

Re: I had the biggest fright of my life!!!!!!

Yes it was pretty scary Arna, one of the biggest frights i have had for a while, i think it scared my son more than anything. It wasnt KFC and i wasnt sure if i should say where it was,it was Subway, the healthy take away food!! NOT!!!!!!

Im going to have a look at those sites you gave me,thank you for doing that hunny,the boy who made my meal has been sacked which isnt what i was looking for. Will give an update on it all later tonight......i live in NSW...

Re: I had the biggest fright of my life!!!!!!

Omg Thank god your son was there for you.. I would personally ring your local council tomorrow and speak to a officer through them and have them go through that place like a fine tooth comb, as how many other patrons has this may have happened...

You allowed to be emotional and bet your son is saying mum stop making a fuss, but it is a huge thing, bet he was scared as well...

Hope you have a good week...

Re: I had the biggest fright of my life!!!!!!

hey cazza,yer i am thankful ben was there at the time!! We had a call from the manager this morning and she is going to sack the young boy who made my meal which i dont think is the right thing to be doing. They need to relook at their protocol, and try to make sure it doesnt happen again.....Im looking into what else should be done about this as i am not happy with the phone call. I will have a good week, thanks hunny....

Thank goodness you are ok champ!  Yes, you should take it further, absolutely!  Imagine if it had been one of your kids, or you had been alone and nobody was there to help you.

Re: I had the biggest fright of my life!!!!!!

hey!! Yer im ok now,thanks hunny...I am still waiting for a call,its late now so it doesnt look like i will get one tonight!! I will be cranky enough tomorrow to deal with this myself  since they didnt find it important enough to have the manager ring me back tonight. Maybe they didnt think it was serious having someone choke on a piece of plastic in some of the food that they hand make!! hmmmmm.....

Re: I had the biggest fright of my life!!!!!!

Oh crumbs, now that is scarey. Well done to your wonderful boy for his quick thinking. Do you have "Trading Standars" we have Trading Standards Service in the UK, so if something like this occurs, then we are encouraged to report it, so they can investigate the business for health, safety, and hygeine. Glad you are safe and sound, you so deserve an explanation as to how this could have happend and what they are going to do.Best Wishes.

Luv Winnie.xxxx

Re: I had the biggest fright of my life!!!!!!

thanks Winnie, im not too sure if we do have something like that, i havent had to deal with a situation with these circumstances before...and i hope its the last!!!

i am so thankful i wasnt alone.....Brendan ( my hubby ) didnt realize what was going on till Ben got it out and over his nerves starting yelling at him what was going on....He is really angry with what has happened thats for sure...maybe i should let him talk to the manager WHO STILL HASNT CALLED!!!!!!!!!

Re: I had the biggest fright of my life!!!!!!

OMG Naomi.......how scary!!!!  I'm so glad you're okay though, well done to your son for acting so quickly.

I would wait and see what the manager has to say first. I would also contact head office and let them know as I'm sure the manager will try to keep it quiet. Other than that I don't know what I would do.

I'm just glad you're ok........

Keep us posted on what the manager says.

Re: I had the biggest fright of my life!!!!!!

thanks amanda, i didnt even think about contacting the main store to let them know as well. Yes im sure that this is going to be kept quiet. I think it is quite serious, what if it was a child???? Thank goodness it was me now that i think of it. Glad it wasnt Myah who loves this particular food...and its meant to be good for you!!! ( now did i give it away??) LOL

Re: I had the biggest fright of my life!!!!!!

You poor thing!!! That would of been terrifying. I hope the manager does call you back and offers some sort of explanation at the very least as I would find that totally unacceptable.

Hope you and your son have had huge cuddles and kisses and soon start to relax.

Hugs
