Mayborn USA has issued a voluntary recall of more than 3.1M spill-proof cups due to the potential for mold to develop on the one-piece valve inside the cups. Five types of cups, which are sold under the Tommee Tippee Sippee Cup brand name, are affected by the recall.
The affected valve
The five types include: First Sips Transition cup, Trainer Sippee cup, Sippee cup (including Cute Quips), Sportee bottle and Insulated Swiggle/Sippee tumblers. The plastic drinking cups have spill-proof tops, easy-grip sides with detachable handles and were sold in clear with colored lids and a variety of colors and character prints.
Three Thousand Incidents of Mold Reported
The recall was prompted by over 3,000 reports of mold in the removable valve of the spill-proof cups, including 68 reports of children experiencing diarrhea, vomiting or other symptoms associated with drinking from the moldy cups.
The cups were sold for between $4 and $7 from December 2014 through May 2016 at BuyBuy Baby, CVS, Kohl’s, Target, Walgreens, Wal-Mart and other mass merchandise stores nationwide. The cups were also sold online at Amazon.com, Babyhaven.com, and Diapers.com.
