Moms are superheroes without the cape and the captain women of the household deserves to be pampered occasionally. In the U.K., Mother’s Day falls on March 19, 2023, and Tesco geared up with products that are meant to honor the theme of Mother’s Day.
Shoppers, especially women, weren’t impressed by the product arrangement. Tesco has been shamed for “sexism” after displaying cleaning products under the Mum banner that read “for each and every mom.”
It would be wise to tread lightly in the gift choice since the last thing people want is an offended recipient rather than a grateful one. A candle and a bouquet is a safe bet, while cleaning products can take a hard landing on the floor.
The cleaning products on the shelves had items like Fairy Liquid and Lenor fabric conditioner. Mom is bound to feel the love with some laundry pods and disinfectant sprays.
“I’m sure she’ll be thrilled,” one customer wrote on Reddit with a photo of the display.
Others ridiculed the product selection. A user fumed: “The sexism is horrible, has the person who made this display ever actually met a mother?”
One mum replied: “If I get cleaning products for Mother’s Day, they better be ones that can remove blood stains.”
A Tesco spokesperson attempted to cool off some of that tension by clarifying: “This picture was taken during the crossover of the promotions aisle in a store. Our Time to Shine spring cleaning event was wrapping up and our Mother’s Day signage was being installed.
“The products shown are not part of our Mother’s Day range and we have a great selection of gifts every kind of Mum in your life including flowers, candles and sweet treats.”
