People Are Freaking Out About These Gross Photos Of Moldy Sippy Cups. Apparently, the mold is only noticeable if you crack open the cup’s anti-spill guard top.
Marie-Pier L’Hostie and Penny Powell, both from Montreal, shared these viral Facebook posts last week, warning about mold that might build up in the anti-spill guard of their children’s sippy cups.
The women wrote that their decision to share the posts came from a discussion in a Facebook group for mothers. Both told the story of a dad named Simon O’kanada who was wondering why his child kept getting sick.
In another facebook post, Penny Powell wrote:
My friend wondered why his son was still sick so he broke open the anti-spill guard of his Tommee Tippee glass and discovered mold inside the anti-spill top that does not wash that you can’t see except if you break it open. He called the company and the lady on the other end laughed in his face. Several moms on the other group also found mold after my post about it in another group so I’m sharing with you. 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! Share it!
After having received several messages from parents who have opened their children’s anti-spill cup, it is important to do something, so for parents who discover that they have the same problem with the anti-spill top, please, I invite you to complain to consumer protection and also the customer service of the company described — thank you! Share in large numbers.
