Woman left fuming after son receives Asos ‘poo-stained’ shorts

Disgusting.

A mum has been left fuming after ASOS delivered "poo-stained" shorts to her 21-year-old son. Journalist Suzanne Baum, her son ordered a pair of  £17.99 shorts last week but as soon as they went to open the parcel, both the mum and son said they were "retching", claiming they could smell poo coming from within. Suzanne said that she could smell 's**t' coming from the parcel, initially thinking it might have been her dog. Speaking to MyLondon, Suzanne said: "My son said 'oh my god mum, I can smell s***'. I went to his room and I could smell poo. I thought, 'has my dog done a poo on the carpet?', because I couldn't understand where the smell was coming from.

I thought maybe it's a pen mark, maybe it's the stitching, but because of the smell, I knew instantly it was poo. I was in disbelief so I put my nose kind of near just to double check and it was poo." Suzanne, who lives in North London, said that the shorts were packaged up as someone would expect when ordering from the online retailer, with the tags on. She also claims that they seemed to have been 'ironed'. Suzanne added: "My son just wanted to chuck them out the window. It's basically poo smeared over the back and up the side and leaked through the other side, and through the packaging. I just felt sick and angry because I have spent thousands of pounds at ASOS over the years and I just couldn't believe this was happening.

Suzanne attempted to contact ASOS' customer services, but was directed to an automated online chat.
