Jessica Alba, who recently celebrated the 2-year anniversary of her eco-friendly family brand The Honest Company, has revealed how she got around to starting the firm, recalling a scary incident when her daughter Honor, now 5, ate part of her diaper as a baby.
The 32-year-old actress told Us Magazine that her child's diaper exploded one time and all the beads inside it went in Honor's mouth.
The 'Sin City 2' star explained that she was so freaked out that she called her pediatrician, 911 and her mom to ask her what the diaper was made of.
Alba added that she contacted the diaper-maker company too, but they refused to tell her about the ingredients in the diaper.
After the incident, when she couldn't find any eco-friendly products in the market for kids, she decided to start The Honest Company.
