Check your cabinets: There's been a massive recall of sippy cups. The Consumer Product Safety Commission issued a recall Friday of 3.1 million Mayborn USA's "Tommee Tippee Sippee" cups. It includes five types of spill-proof cups with removable, one-piece valves, including First Sips Transition cup, Trainer Sippee cup, Sippee cup, Sportee bottle and Insulated Swiggle/Sippee tumblers.
The company has already received 3,066 reports of mold in the opaque valves of the cops. There have been 68 reports of kids experiencing diarrhea, vomiting and other symptoms because of the moldy valves.
The recall follows instances of parents posting photos of moldy lids of the cups on Facebook.
