Do Tommy Tippee pelican bibs eventually just sort of slime and die?

[HuffwardlyRudge]

Those moulded rubber bibs with a food catching bit at the bottom.

This is now the second bib that has done this; it feels as though it is oily or greasy, but a good scrub with very hot water and soap doesn't unslime it.

I ended up chucking the last one away, and now another one has done it.

Anyone else have this, or is it something I'm doing?

We had this. They never even went in the dishwasher so not sure what we did wrong!

Mine all did this too - I emailed Tommy Tippee about it and got some fob off about how the plastic sometimes does this but it is 'quite rare'

they did offer to replace it, but i never got around to sending it back to them

it's really quite gross isn't it?

I used to run the customer sevice department at Tommee Tippee and urge you to send it into them. Make sure that they know this is the second one it has happened to.

I bet they have had similar complaints and QC should be looking into it.

They should either replace it or refund it, no questions asked.

Whatfreshhellisthis - I'm disgusted that they tried to fob you off like that.

Plastic that is properly made does not do that, end of story.

Sounds like TT customer service has gone down hill.

Interesting. I spent ages with the last one convinced I'd got some particularly stubborn oil or something on it and trying to get it clean.

Won't send it back as I live abroad and the postage would be more than a new bib.

We had a flexible one and it did this. We didn't put it in the dishwasher either.

But we'd had it for 3 years and didn't really need it any more.

Mine did this as well. I thought it was the rubber/plastic perishing. Didn't occur to me it was a fault
