I AM alarmed that a well known brand of tea is being advertised on television in such an irresponsible manner which could, if copied by a small child, cause serious injury or even death to a baby.
I refer to the pouring of water (or, inadvertently, any other liquid) in volume over a prone person to wake them up.
It is plain stupid.
There was another advert showing a domestic bleach also being carelessly handled.
Adverts, like movies, should be approved by a responsible body, before they are even screened.
Having said that, how dismally the latter have been vetted, if copycat incidents of violence are anything to go by.
