Review: I was in the Green Acres Mall and I was inquiring about the product, "Walking animal balloons" being sold at the kiosk of the same name, as my sons love balloons. It was toward the end of the day so we were all a little worn out so I was looking to get them a treat to take home. Before I could even ask about the price of the balloons, the lady proceeded to give the strings to my kids and told me she'd give me a good price--1 for $10 or 2 for $15. They were cute, but I thought it was a little much for just a helium balloon that I could get for a few dollars elsewhere. But since she had already put them in my kids' hands--what was I going to do? Also mylar balloons tend to last for several weeks. So I paid for them with my debit card, and after tax it came out to $16.33--kind of much for 2 rather plain helium balloons ( I got one regular and one with feet). As we were walking to our car, one of the balloons popped, so I went back she replaced it, but on the way home another popped, and this morning I was trying to get my son to leave it home and as I was trying to get it out of his hands it popped. These were REALLY junky balloons at an unfair price and unjust business practices. I am very upset.Desired Settlement: I would appreciate a refund of the $16.33 as well as inform them of their inferior and potentially dangerous product since they offered it to my young kids, who could have been harmed when the balloons popped suddenly and deflated with little force.
