March 22, 2016
Check Those Sippy Cups!
Simon O'kanada grew curious of his son's sippy cup when the tot couldn't seem to get over being sick. Prying open the plastic "anti-leak" nipple of the child's Tommee Tippee revealed a terrifying sight. The inside of the mouthpiece was literally caked in mold. And after the Canadian dad showed his friend Marie-Pier S. L'Hostie, who also had children, she made sure to share his disturbing photos on Facebook in an effort to warn other parents of what might be lurking beneath their child's favorite cup!

And according to Marie-Pier's post,"Those of you with these cups pay special attention, he has washed it with his hands and in the dishwasher, etc., and the mildew has stayed anyway!"Credit: Facebook / Marie-Pier S.

Marie-Pier's warning post has been shared over 45,000 times, and plenty of other parents have chimed in to say they too have found mold inside their kid's sippy cups. In fact, other outraged parents have even started adding their own pictures to Marie-Pier's original post.

They suggest the mold problem is likely caused by the use of non-recommended liquids in the cups. Only cold, light fluids including water and non-pulp juices are suggested for the cups.
