“These need to be pulled off the shelves immediately,” Espy, who uses the TikTok handle @issatete, says in her Tuesday video.
But when she opened the product at home, she quickly found the egregious errors and shared them online.
Espy added that she appreciated the support from fellow TikTok users who helped make sure the errors didn’t go unnoticed.
