King Mitchy: “Hypo Not For Drinking”, Manufacturers Condemn Dangerous Trend
Multipro Enterprise Issues Warning on Hypo Bleach Consumption
NIGERIA—Multipro Enterprise Limited, the manufacturer of Hypo Bleach, has issued a warning against the consumption of its product following a series of viral social media trends linked to a dispute between content creator King Mitchy and influencer VeryDarkMan.
In a statement released on Sunday and signed by Marketing Manager Adebayo Adeyemo, the company emphasized that Hypo Bleach is designed solely for cleaning purposes and should never be ingested. The statement, as reported by TVC News, reiterated that the product is formulated to remove stains, whiten fabrics, deodorize, and eliminate 99.9% of germs, and warned that it is unsafe for consumption.
The company also expressed concern over AI-generated images that portray Hypo as a consumable beverage. Multipro cautioned that such representations could mislead the public and pose serious health risks.
“We have observed individuals creating and sharing videos that depict Hypo in a manner that suggests it is a beverage,” the statement read. “It is essential to clarify that these images are fabricated, and any encouragement to consume Hypo—whether as a joke or for views—endangers lives. This is not a trend to be taken lightly.”
Multipro further implored influencers, bloggers, and content creators to recognize the impact of their platforms. “Your reach is real, as is your responsibility. A trend that leads to ill health is not worth starting,” the statement noted.
The company also addressed the importance of mental health, urging individuals who may be struggling emotionally to seek help. “Asking for assistance is a sign of strength,” the statement concluded. “Let us keep social media fun and safe.”
