Sharing with her 26K followers, influencer and mom Alexandra Cunningham revealed she found black mold inside a rubber bath ducky.
She said in a video as she began to chop it up: “My daughters have these bath toys they love. They are Disney.
“But I began to see shadows in the Flounder one, so I decided that I would cut it open. Inside, there was so much mold.
“I just want to warn other parents in case their kids also have these toys.”
She added as a caption: “Reminder: even rubber toys that are meant for water will get moldy when they get wet!”
Many parents took to the comment section to reveal they had also encountered the same thing in their children’s toys and were weary of repurchasing.
Another mom shared a trick to get rid of the mold.
“When they’re new, I put a little blob of hot glue on the little hole and they still float but no water gets in, so no mold,” She suggested.
A second option is to trade your plastic toys for wooden toys. However, they might not float.
