Witnessing this scene could be sufficient to deter you from using shampoo altogether, given the discomfort it evokes in your scalp. In Hubei, China, a woman named Zhao expressed her discontent after buying two bottles of a renowned shampoo brand during a promotional period, only to uncover a disconcerting surprise upon opening them.
Reports suggest that she refrained from using the shampoo immediately after purchase, instead waiting until August when she allowed her child to use it. During the child's shower, a scream echoed from the bathroom, prompting Zhao to hastily investigate. To her astonishment, the shampoo dispensed a substance resembling brown insect-like matter. Upon thorough inspection, she discovered that the entire bottle contained what seemed to be cockroach eggs, complete with distinguishable heads and legs.
The encounter was undeniably alarming, generating a tingling sensation on her scalp. The experience left her deeply traumatized; even the simple act of squeezing shampoo evoked shudders. Her child was so frightened that they couldn't muster the appetite to eat.
Zhao emphasized that the bottles had been meticulously sealed with plastic packaging, making it improbable that their handling had caused the issue. Only two months had elapsed since the purchase, and the bottles were equipped with plastic seals, making it unlikely for cockroaches to infiltrate them easily.
Subsequently, she cross-referenced the production dates of the two bottles March and May 2023 with expiration dates of March and May 2026, respectively.
Amid the incident, Zhao's husband recorded a video and captured photos, which were promptly forwarded to the store. The shampoo company's representatives acknowledged the complaint and ensured swift action. Additionally, the company's customer service clarified that the product undergoes rigorous safety and hygiene measures during production, making it highly unlikely for intact insects to be present in the product. The shampoo itself possesses a sweet fragrance that could attract insects through the pump mechanism, prompting the advisory for proper storage of the product.
