I got to say, as a costumer, or actually after this, not longer one. I’m very disappointed, I was probably one of the first ones who called in the accident, I provided for them everything they asked for, package codes, the piece of plastic I almost chocked on and, as compensation, I got a all 20$ and, did not learned about the recall intill a coworker e-mailed me the articol this morning. Since she was present when it all happened. Yep, Nestle lost all my rispect and, the people I work with are not all the impressed anymore either!
