"Twist and Sip" Baby Bottles Do YOU use if so please read

Kids need to take drinks to school. Nothing's been invented that's foolproof

LadyDee

Don't they have water taps in schools nowadays? Children could take a small empty water bottle to school, fill it up, drink the water, carry it home empty. Unless of course they are drinking juice which sticks to their teeth all day with the resultant decay of their teeth.

I did read it to the end. The end with the link to the video which showed the customer how to clean the 'non customer serviceable part' which turned out to be perfectly serviceable

Here is 'the end'

That would be the video which the manufacturer uploaded in response to this, not in advance of it. And the same page where they admit "[the lids] can be difficult to disassemble".

My original thread was only intended as a potential Warning to others who were not aware of possible hazards of using this type of drinks dispenser, how things can get blown out of ALL proportion .

It is an example that any nutrient (Bug Food) hidden in this type of dispenser has the potential to cause food poisoning in vulnerable or the young.

THAT ALL I WAS TRYING TO WARN ABOUT

Hope it has helped some ? :beer:

What about the other people who managed just fine?

Yes it was in response but up until then no one had allowed mound to grow and went to the papers!

It would have been more helpful if you had correctly described the product in your thread title - it is NOT a baby bottle.

The child is 7 years old.

I have little sympathy for anyone who serves their child food or drink in a container that they feel cannot be cleaned properly.

It's a 'twist up' sports type nozzle for goodness sake - there's bound to be gunk collecting in it... not rocket science is it?

Still, it adds yet another ’won't somebody please think of the children' scare story to the millions already out there in Facebook land.

Nobody thinks for themselves anymore.

How exactly do you know that this exact same problem hasn't happened to many other people?

Until someone went to the media about tumble driers catching fire, very few people were aware of the possible problem but this doesn't mean that the person who did publicise it was the first person who had a drier catch fire because of fluff getting onto the heating element.

That's a leap.

A customer posted a picture of a mouldy lid saying you 'cannot clean this area'

The company chose to respond sensibly with a video showing that actually you can.

If Hotpoint can't respond with a video saying how you can stop your dryer catching fire, I'll take your point.

Why do you consider me saying that others might have had the same problem and not publicised it, a leap?


What I think is a leap is you bluntly stating that "until then no one had allowed mound to grow", which unless you are psychic, isn't something that you could possible know.

It isn't something you can know either!

marliepanda seems to be approaching this with the evidence at hand. We have:

- One post by concerned parents (who have ASSUMED that the mould was the cause of the problems, but that's a different issue) who found mould in a non airtight compartment. Now, it immediately rings bells because the mould can only grow with air/moisture and would need to transfer to the liquid contained within the cup. So why didn't a soak in boiling water/sterilization penetrate this compartment? So don't rule out the parents being somewhat negligent either....

- No other similar reports about mould.

- An instructional video on how to clean the compartment.

So that's the evidence. If you want to deduce that it is a possibility that many people have had similar issues but never reported it then fine! Can't say that I agree with that, but you may be right! It is more likely that marliepanda is correct here.
