A NEWMILLS mum has spoken of her horror after glass she says she found in an Asda nappy left her two-year-old daughter bleeding.

Charlotte Downie, 27, of Torry Bay Court, claims she found the shard inside one of the supermarket brand's Little Angel nappies when her daughter screamed out in pain.

The mother-of-two bought the pack of nappies from Asda St Leonard's and is now warning other parents to be wary.

She told the Press: "I put the nappy on and then I heard Neve screaming, she was saying, "It's sore".

"When I checked, I noticed that there was a scratch and blood coming off her.

"I looked in the nappy and that's when I saw a clear bit of glass."

Charlotte immediately contacted NHS 24, scared that her daughter could have an infection, and took her to her GP.

"I can categorically say that the glass did not come from my home," Charlotte said. "I have a toddler and a 12-week-old in the house so I have no glass in the house."

Charlotte was told to take the nappy to her local store after calling customer services.

But Charlotte said: "I was told it would take 40 days to investigate. There doesn't seem to me that there's any urgency to deal with a serious issue.

"They haven't taken the product off the shelves. I mean we're not talking about a misshapen crisp here.

"When I was called the next day, they were very rude to me. They said they had no idea how that would happen because the nappies are made in a protective environment.

"What are they implying, that I would put glass in my daughter's nappy?"

Asda will investigate whether the source of the object is domestic or commercial.

An Asda spokesperson said: "We are extremely proud of our Little Angels nappies so we take complaints of this nature very seriously and are sorry to hear of Ms Downie’s complaint.

"We have begun a full and thorough investigation to understand what happened but would like to reassure her and all our customers that we have stringent processes in place to ensure there is no contamination within this robust process.

"Our nappies are produced and packed on an enclosed line within a sealed environment and if the door of the production line is opened, the conveyor belt stops and any nappies on the line are rejected.

"This means a customer can have confidence that the they are the first person to open their packet of nappies."
