Hello, we have recently purchased the recalled *** shaped nuggets. We noticed our one year old daughter acting different and more aggressive so we took her to her pediatrician where we figured out her lead levels were very high!

Unfortunately, this caused a lot of distress in our daughter and us as parents.

We hope we will be listened to and wont have to get our legal team involved.

Hopefully we hear something back. Thank you!

Great Value Canned Fruits exploding

AI Highlights
  • - Great Value canned fruits have swollen, foamed, and leaked.
  • - The product smells bad and looks brown.
  • - I will not stock Great Value fruits anymore.

I started stocking my pantry with Great value fruits over two years ago...always rotated through and never past expiration date, but for the last year the Great Value canned fruits have been exploding...opening up and product foaming out...fruit is brown and smells like a bad tin can. My most recent was about 5 cans of pineapple that very quickly after I got them hope were swollen up and oozing the fluids...then the peaches, pears and fruit cocktail...So I will not stock Great Value fruits of any sort...I feel most of those cans were the pop and peel back tops...most were. Anyway a big waste to my budget and now makes me think twice about buying Great value...which in most of my stock pile.

User's recommendation: Really think 1, 2, 3 times about buying Great Value canned fruits

Today I purchased Great Value Decaf...

AI Highlights
  • - Great Value Decaf pods leaked all over the counter in the Silex machine.
  • - Other brands' pods worked in the same machine, so I won't buy this brand again.

Today I purchased Great Value Decaf 100% Arabica donut Shop coffee pods the code is 1 ***. I use a *** Silex coffee machine which accepts pods, and drip type servings.

I used one of your pods and it ran all over the counter, I tried another pod and same thing, I put in another brands pod and it worked as it should. I then tried a third one of your pods and it again made a mess. Out of anger and frustration I threw the remaining not so Great Value pods in the trash.

This item was purchased today at the Dubuque Iowa Walmart for $4.64. I certainly do not want or trust another package of the same.

Loss:
$464

Preferred solution: Full refund

Great Value - About pizza

The toppings were only on the corner/side of pizza.I would be mad if I wouldnt get that side of the pizzaLOL guess Ill try to spread them myself.

User's recommendation: Try to pray that you get toppings all over before you open it, unless you want to wait to thaw if it’s too frozen, then spread toppings, or wait til cooked to spread toppings.

They hung up before getting a superior to handle the issue. The public will now know not to trust their products as I will be making certain it's known that they do not care about the consumers

AI Highlights
  • - GV burger order arrived missing one.
  • - Hope it's a packaging error, not misrepresentation.
  • - It would be disheartening if a billionaire family steals.

I purchased GV burgers code # [GOVERNMENT_ID]. It was missing a burger.

I wouldn't think much about it, but lately Walmart has been making the news in a negative light with products not being what they are represented to be.

So hopefully it was just a packaging error and nothing more. It would be very disheartening to think a billionaire family needs to steal from people struggling to get by.

Preferred solution: Price reduction

User's recommendation: if you want to try and count the burgers through the bag it might work. I'm thinking it was just a packaging error and nothing more.
