A father found a thick layer of mold stuck in the top of his baby son's 'leak-proof' sippy cup. Simon O'kanada of Mirabel in Quebec, Canada, opened the Tommee Tippee cup last week in a bid to work out why his son routinely fell ill. To his horror, clumps of brown residue had congealed inside the contraption right next to the hole where liquid comes out. Posting pictures of the disgusting discover on Facebook last week, O'kanada's friend Marie-Pier told friends that a Tommee Tippee employee 'laughed out loud' when they called to complain about it.
'My friend Simon O’kanada wondered why his son was always sick,' she wrote.
'He broke the anti-spill top of his Tommee Tippee bottle and discovered mold inside the mouthpiece.
'It doesn’t wash and can’t be seen unless it is broken open.
'He called the company, and the lady on the phone laughed out out loud.'
Responding to the news, Tommee Tippee insists this residue build-up would not happen if the product were used properly.
'When used with recommended liquids (cold, light fluids including water and non-pulp juices) and cleaned in line with instructions, there are no problems,' a spokesman told Buzzfeed News.
'Difficulties have arisen though when liquids that are not recommended for use in the cups have been used, like thick formula milk, pulpy juice and warm liquids.
'We also recommend that cups are not left for long periods before being cleaned.'
The firm also posted a statement on its Facebook page: 'We learned, as a result of posts, that some people were not satisfied with the result of the sippy valves used in our sippy cups.
We apologize for the inconvenience and we assure you that we are actively working on the subject.'
Oh God protect our babies
