Several Albanian-language news portals have published articles claiming that the Italian fashion brand "Gucci" has launched baby diapers on the market, with a package costing $490.
Hibrid.info has found that articles with this claim were published by "vna.al","bordo.al","portalifiks.com"and "spectrum.tv".
What's wrong with this claim?
After research conducted online by hibrid.info, it was confirmed that this is not true. "Gucci" has not launched such a product on the market.
Hibrid.info initially searched for images showing baby diapers from Gucci, using the automated program InVID. The results did not show any credible foreign media or official sources reporting on this product (see here, here and here).
Based on these results, it is noted that this claim has only been circulated by various social media pages and accounts.
To further prove the fact that such a product is not manufactured by "Gucci", hibrid.info has researched the official website of this company.
In the SEARCH section, hibrid.info searched for the keywords “Baby Diapers” (as written in the image). However, the results do not show this product. (see here)
