Over three million baby cups have been recalled in the US and UK after concerns that they are making children ill.
Tommee Tippee have recalled the items because of claims that mould is accumulating in the valve of their cups.
Roughly 70 children have already reportedly fallen ill forcing the company to take urgent action.
The mould is said to have accumulated in a hidden art of the valve causing parents to miss the signs.
As a result, children are said to have taken ill with symptoms such as diarrhoea and vomiting.
The issue was highlighted when parents began to post their concerns on Facebook and Twitter sharing images of their cups.
