Boohoo are already under investigation over low pay and exploitation claims (their supply chain workers in Leicester claim to be paid less than minimum wage), so the last thing they need is a viral story about how their women’s playsuits are arriving with sh*t stains in them.
Tiegan Mayo, 18, claims the white playsuit she ordered had brown stains on the crotch area when she took it out of the bag, but she initially thought it was just a fake tan stain and ignored it.
The apprentice hairdresser then showed the stains to her mum, who possibly gave it a sniff, and the two are now convinced the stain is “obviously poo” from someone who had worn the item before her and returned it. Gross!
Teigan, from Cambridge, told The Mirror:
“I think it was a skid stain and obviously poo. I was with my mum in my bedroom and started trying it on and I thought it was fake tan at first and then I showed her and she was like ‘that’s not fake tan’.
I was like ‘that’s pretty disgusting, actually’. You couldn’t really see it [the stain] from the outside as much, it was more on the inside. I was just about to try it on and then I saw it and was like ‘I’m not trying that on’.
I would have thought it was fake tan if it was anywhere else on the outfit, it’s just because of where it was I knew that it wasn’t fake tan. With fake tan, it’s like a greeny orangey brown colour, whereas the stain was just brown.”
I think she’s onto something there.
Teigan says Boohoo have been in contact with her and assured “it won’t happen again”, and also hooked her up with a full refund and £10 voucher. They also told her she could keep the original sh*t-stained playsuit – W’s all round!
Even still, Teigan has vowed to never shop from Boohoo again:
“That’s the thing now, it’s made me realise – you don’t know who’s been wearing it. I don’t think a £10 voucher is good enough. I don’t think I’ll be ordering from them again. It’s put me, my friends and family off Boohoo.”
That’s too bad. Maybe an £100 voucher would have convinced her to shop at Boohoo again but £10? After sending her a poop-stained Bardot Belted Wrap Playsuit? That’s just a slap in the face really. What a waste of a voucher…
