Retail giant Home Bargains has found itself in hot water with several shoppers over its 89p hay fever wipes.
Last week the wipes went viral on social media, with many branding them a 'miracle' product.
But now people have hit out at the retailer for selling the wipes - which some suggest are 'unethical'.
In a Facebook post, Home Bargains wrote: "As the weather begins to get warmer and we start to sit outside again, make sure you're protected from hay-fever, with Nuage's Hay-fever Relief Wipes. Helps to relieve itchy eyes and nose's for just 89p."
The wipes have received over 5,000 comments - and while many have praised them, others aren't so convinced.
"No, no, no ! What is wrong with these companies? No consideration for the environment at all! Use a clean , wet flannel!" slammed one critic.
Another wrote: "Great idea, but it's just a shame they are plastic wipes inside a plastic bag we need to be reducing plastic."
"Hay-fever wipes??!! They'll invent wipes for everything these days. More plastic waste to fill our land and oceans," wrote a third critic.
A fourth said: "Anything that’s a ‘wipe' should be banned. So bad for the environment."
Yet another critic blasted: "More waste going to landfill. Or the sewers if people are flushing them away."
The wipes do not state whether they are suitable for recycling.
Manchester Evening News has contacted Home Bargains for comment.
