Fridababy Ownership Controversy Sparks Outrage Over Disturbing Product Captions
Fridababy, founded in 2014 by CEO Chelsea Hirschhorn, is currently facing significant backlash online. The controversy began when social media users shared the company’s product packaging and past advertisements that contained inappropriate and suggestive phrases.
Controversy Highlights
The outrage started on TikTok and quickly spread across various platforms. Users are particularly offended by phrases included on Fridababy’s packaging, such as “I get turned on quickly” and “How about a quickie.”
Social Media Response
Netizens have taken to platforms like X (formerly Twitter), where user @staystaystace posted a critique of the brand. This tweet gained over 59,000 likes. Many commenters expressed their shock at the use of such sexual innuendos in marketing baby products.

- “How about a quickie”
Some users have pointed out that Fridababy has been deleting negative comments from their Instagram account. The brand has yet to issue a public statement addressing the criticism.
Background on Fridababy
Chelsea Hirschhorn launched Fridababy after her experiences with motherhood led her to see gaps in the baby product market. In 2013, while pregnant, she learned about NoseFrida, an oral nasal aspirator from Sweden. This inspired her to enhance the product for the U.S. market, founding a brand dedicated to innovative baby care solutions.
Product Development
Fridababy has established its own research and development lab to create unique items. Despite efforts to innovate, Hirschhorn found that U.S. manufacturers were often resistant to new ideas. She traveled to Europe, where she discovered products she could license and adapt for American consumers.
Mixed Reactions from the Public
The public response to the controversy is mixed. Some users question the authenticity of the criticisms, suggesting the viral screenshots could be manipulated. Others recall seeing the controversial ads and packaging firsthand, prompting further discussion.
- Some users argue:
- Claims may be exaggerated for attention.
- Original phrases were indeed offensive.
