“My wife had the instinct to take a photo because it shocked her a little and she threw the package out the window. The insect had been there for a while since the layers were marked with the shape of the worm. It was frankly unpleasant, ”testified the father to our colleagues.
The latter filed a handrail at the gendarmerie, warned the Carrefour Market in which he had bought the package of diapers at the end of August and contacted the brand’s customer service on Thursday.
The diaper manufacturer told France Bleu to take this case “very seriously” and understand “the concern that this incident may have caused”. Pampers also announced Friday evening to immediately launch an investigation to determine the possible causes at each stage of the manufacture, storage, and use of the product.
The packaging was in good condition according to the father

A version disputed by the father of the child who ensures for his part that the packaging was not damaged.
