tenses question

Hi,
in a piece of complaining letter, the spoon offered from the restaurant was broken, which caused danger.<-----( You used simple past tense here)

You should talk about the past.
It happened right?
Try these:
1) A few/ some customers have already been injured by those broken spoons provided by your restaurant.( present perfect tense in passive voice)
or
2) A few/ some customers were injured by those broken spoons provided by your restaurant.
( simple past tense in passive voice)
Note: You used " customerS", so I guess you wanted to talk about "SPOONS". It is weird that some customers were injured by
one SPOON.
Perhaps you mean a chef mixed a broken ceramic spoon with some
pork or something.@_@
I am still confused! Do let me know what exactly you mean to say.

Hope that helps.

Ciao

If you mean nothing has happened so far (you just want to tell them

that one broken spoon may cause problems, you'd then write:

* It will definitely hurt ......................" ( To show the restaurant the importance of this case and how much you care about it.)

Both are acceptable.

They are different in terms of likeliness. "It will..." = quite sure it will happen, while "It would..." = is likely
that it may happen, but will not necessarily happen.
