What a strange story. First, they call the middle of Lidl infamous, not famous. What's infamous about it?

Second, they do a mass product recall because of one complaint? They claim the product has had stringent testing and has sold for years in Europe without issue, but they recall it due to one complaint?

If the complaint is legitimate, then this is a good thing, but I just can't wrap my head around their claim of stringent testing and crumbling at the merest mention of an issue. I also don't understand what the issue with the igloos really is, they appear no less dangerous than a fence or hedge

The whole complaint seems odd.

Hedgehogs survive in the wild. So must have some ability to identify safe winter homes.

If these things cause them to have frozen bedding and die. Why would they ever be used. Are homeowners locking them in there?

It uses popular instead of infamous now.

Yeah it now reads: "After the huts appeared in the Lidl's popular "middle aisle" earlier this week, she raised her concerns with the store."

I'm guessing they investigated after the complaint and found something bad.

I have obviously no idea though.
