Halloween Hazard: Viral Video Warns Shoppers of Pink Eye and Lice from Spirit Halloween Masks

In a recent viral video, a TikTok user identified as Alex (@princess_al3x) issued a stark warning to shoppers ahead of the Halloween season, specifically targeting those who frequent Spirit Halloween stores. The video, which has garnered significant attention, cautions against trying on hats and masks due to potential health risks. "Not to be a buzz kill, but just a reminder for all the people that like to come in and try on all the hats and masks at Spirit," Alex stated in her video, emphasizing that "Pink Eye and lice do exist." She further elaborated in her caption, claiming, "I have def gotten pink eye from one of the masks." This personal account highlights a concern about public hygiene in retail environments. The warning resonated with many viewers, prompting a wave of comments sharing similar experiences and concerns. One commenter, claiming to be a former Spirit Halloween employee, corroborated the claim, stating, "And they do NOT sanitize those masks. I know. I worked there." Another user shared a personal anecdote: "Have gotten lice TWICE from Spirit….just looking for me." The sentiment among many was a call for greater awareness and caution, with one parent noting, "ever since my children were little they were never allowed to try on hats or masks cuz I told them this so they would know better. I worked in the medical field so I was well aware." While Spirit Halloween has not yet issued a public statement regarding these claims, the video serves as a timely reminder for consumers to practice caution and consider sanitizing items before use, especially those that come into contact with the face and hair.
