The parents of a baby of several months always wondered why their son used to get sick so often, until they found what might be the reason. They decided to disassemble their son's learning glasses and realized that everything his baby consumed with them went through a valve that was full of crap.
They decided to notify all those who use this type of glasses by Facebook, whose best known brand is Tommee Tippee, and although many people were scared, those responsible for the brand told them that it was their fault for do not use the glasses well. That is, for not washing them well.
The name of the dad who shared the images is Simon O'kanada, and lives in Mirabel, Quebec. Seeing the lair he found in his son's glasses, he decided to call the brand's customer service, angry, and apparently received an answer he did not expect, a certain mockery from the brand.
And they explained that, as read in the instructions, it is advisable to avoid juices with pulp or relatively thick liquids (formula milk) and hot and give the baby only strained juices, milk or water with these glasses, whose valve makes that the flow of the liquid is slow, so that the baby learns little by little to drink, and that then it is necessary to wash it well.
If we look at the instructions, we see that they give special importance to the washing of the valve, which must be removed, washed thoroughly by hand (although it seems that it says that the dishwasher also works, although now they deny it):
However, other parents have left their opinions on pages like Amazon, explaining that despite cleaning the valve they saw mold inside.
How to clean the valve
A video of the company explains that it is better not to use the dishwasher (in the instructions this could also be understood, as I said, because the wording is not clear) and suggests that the best method is with plenty of water through all the holes:
Despite this, after seeing that the matter became viral and that many parents were more than worried, since Tommee Tipee An official statement has been issued where they better explain how to clean the valve (here the instructions have changed and say about "hand wash only") and where they tell us that they are working on a new vessel with a detachable valve that can be opened for clean better, and they are also distributing a valve made of transparent material for all parents who are worried and want to replace it.
