A dad from Quebec, Canada was wondering why his toddler kept
getting sick. There wasn’t a flu going around and there hadn’t been any
government advisory about a virus targeting children.
On a hunch, Simon O’kanada examined his son’s Tommee Tippee
sippy bottle. After breaking open the cup’s anti-spill guard, he discovered
something that thoroughly grossed him out and made him extremely mad at the
same time.

Incensed, he shared photos of the moldy Tommy Tippee
anti-spill guard online, and was aghast to find out that countless other
parents, suspicious of their children’s sippy cups, broke open the anti-spill
guards and found mold build-up, as well
The photos of these different mold-filled sippy cups went
viral on social media, placing the international baby products manufacturer in
hot water.
Mold is potentially dangerous and can cause a variety of
symptoms, including shortness of breath, gastrointestinal problems, fatigue,
immune system disturbances, headaches, visual problems, muscle and joint pain,
and in some severe cases, even death!
Finding mold in children’s sippy cup components that would
be impossible to remove even with thorough and regular washing caused a deluge
of complaints from horrified parents.
Tommee Tippee issued a statement apologizing for the
inconvenience and assured worried parents they were working on the problem.
They have also offered to replace the defective sippy cups with an alternative
product.
Still, this horror story about children’s sippy cups should
serve as a warning to parents about choosing their baby products wisely.
It
could mean life or death for your child..
