PIC: Tesco Apologises For Unfortunate Condom Placement Mistake

Clean up on Aisle six... Someone's made an absolute mess of stocking the shelves. Tesco has issued an apology after a customer in a Somerset store spotted condoms stocked in the Children's Health area. Ollie Whittingham took to Twitter to point out the gaffe, writing: "@Tesco you might want to revise where you place your stock in the Shepton Mallet store."

Tesco were quick to apologise, replying:

@funky_bbq I'm sorry about that. I've spoken with Lucy in store and she's has checked the shelves and the products have been removed. (1) — Tesco (@Tesco) February 20, 2016

Ollie later told the Evening Standard:  "It was mid-afternoon and after spotting it in the aisle, I was a bit surprised an employee hadn’t noticed this earlier. "I found it slightly funny because it was either an innocent mistake or someone poking a little fun at the culture of young people today. "There were children’s health products there, Calpol, Sudocrem, all the usual children’s medicine."
