FairPrice’s “Winnie the Pooh” Pot Goes From Cute to Cracked
It’s one of those moments when a Manchester‑style “Baa Baa Black Sheep” rinses a toast to the board: a lovable teddy‑bear pot falls apart in a matter of minutes.
Why the fuss? The pot’s only got a few uses, but it still broke
- Original price: $129.90 – What’s the deal? She snagged it for $55.90 using redemption points.
- Prompted by a <a href="https://www.facebook.com/thatsmyfairprice/posts/pfbid0SMZ2k3T4E5QiQhkBBrwPyfaQfQQuacJfVJgs9RwgqCCK2Hf9qzESVYW96VGU8vaXl?cft” target=”_blank”>Facebook post, she asked if the pot was for cooking or just a decorative bit.
- It was labeled “high‑temperature resistant up to 250 °C” and approved for gas stoves.
She was whipping up a simple soup when… crack! The pot split into two, the soup plastered the floor, and her 10‑month‑old boy was away.
FairPrice, the apologizer, and the “I’m really sorry” statement
FairPrice responded almost instantly, posting an apology on their official Facebook page: “We’re truly sorry for the distress and want you to reach out to us directly.” They also added that they’re combing through supplier details and will “continue working with them to address this matter.”
And because nobody likes to buy a product that pops off in twenty‑four hours, they’re offering refunds for the Winnie the Pooh ceramic pot if customers choose. Drop the pot and get your money back.
The back‑to‑back “pot‑break” saga
It’s not just a one‑off. In August, Arc Chua—35, parenting a supportive family—reportedly had his pot splinter while heating a claypot tofu dish. He was “shocked” but thankful nobody got hurt.
FairPrice said: “It’s an isolated case, the only feedback of this nature we’ve seen so far on this promotional product.”
What’s happening next?
After sending Chua a replacement, his “ballsy” mother tested the new pot by recreating the tofu dish in a TikTok video titled “If don’t dare to use, also wasted, right? $129.90 not cheap leh.” People were divided. Some argued it was purely decorative, others insisted it was meant for stovetop cooking.
Takeaway: Are you a pet‑logo aficionado or a kitchen wizard?
It seems the answer is: you can’t trust these products to last forever—yet, you’ll still get a sweet toy‑pot experience for the price of a decent mug. For now, FairPrice promises strict oversight and revamped safety measures. They’re also serious about ensuring that every pot, from whimsical bear to practical clay, is genuinely built to withstand the heat.
In a nutshell: if you’ve ever bought a Winnie the Pooh pot, check your stove, blame the supplier, and consider doing a refund. If you’re lucky enough to still have a perfect one, congratulations, you’re a real culinary champion.
