A family were left horrified after a rusty knife fell from the box containing a brand new Pepper Pig gift.
‘As both our children are autistic, we have to be particularly vigilant when opening boxes that contain plastic ties. Parents with more developed children might have just let them get on with opening their own presents.
‘When something fell out from a void in the cardboard packaging, initially I thought it was just a plastic component.‘As Maggie reached for it, I saw it was a blue knife. The blade was rusty and the retractable blade didn’t have a safety catch, so it could just slide in and out. ‘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.’She wrote online: ‘So lucky and thankful Martin opened it with her and found it first!’After re-checking their receipts, the couple confirmed they had ordered the gift from Studio, an online retailer that’s owned by the Studio Retail Group.
Though shaken, both parents were determined the incident wouldn’t spoil Christmas for their young children. They continued to open their children’s presents – albeit very carefully.Martin added: ‘We have played through the various horrible what-if-we-hadn’t-seen-it-when-we-did scenarios. ‘What if our other child had picked it up? What if the dirty work blade had cut someone, particularly with so many emergency services currently on strike? But the prevailing feeling is a sense of relief that nobody got hurt.’Get in touch with our news team by emailing us at
