Millions of Tommee Tippee baby and toddler cups have been recalled in the US and Canada after a post from a concerned Dad went viral, of mould forming in the valves – this difficult to clean element of the cups  has been blamed for making children ill with sickness and diarrhoea.

Mayborn USA, the manufacturer behind Tommee Tippee, is now recalling more than 3 million of its sippy cups after  70 children have reportedly become ill by drinking from cups with mouldy valves, according to the Consumer Products Safety Commission in the US.

Tommee Tippee in the UK responded to the viral posts on Facebook earlier in the year by issuing advice on cleaning the valves in the affected cups, and have offered replacement clear valves so that parents could see clearly whether the cups were clean. They are also issuing a new form of cup in coming months.  See how to get your hands on a clear valve from Tommee Tippee here – http://www.tommeetippee.co.uk/support/faqs/one-piece-valve-cup/

Please note – to date, no confirmation has been received regarding whether Mayborn or Tommee Tippee will be recalling any of the products in the UK, although this seems likely. Real Mum Reviews have approached Tommee Tippee for comment and will update with any response.
