Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Forgive my PSA, but I can't think of any other way to help ease the knot that continues to live in my stomach after our experience. Friday morning, my 10 month old daughter was drinking water out of a Green Sprouts Glass Sip N Straw cup. I picked the cup up to wipe oatmeal off of it, and heard the sound of clinking glass. Upon closer inspection, I saw that the glass at the top of the cup had shattered and there were shards of glass in the water at the bottom of the cup. The cup has a safety feature (holes in the bottom of the plastic outer shell) that theoretically will drain the water out of the cup if the glass inside breaks. This didn't happen in our case because the glass broke at the top, spilling glass shards into the bottom of the cup and the remaining water. Long story short, after a trip to the ER, a follow up trip to her pediatrician, 48 hours of observation and two sleepless nights, my daughter seems to be doing fine. It was a rough weekend to say the least, but thank god it doesn't seem that she ingested any glass. I am in contact with Green Sprouts (parent company: I Play, inc.), hoping that they will recall this item until this flaw in design can be corrected. If you are using glass lined drinking cups of any kind for your kids in the hopes of avoiding the toxic chemicals leeched by plastic, please be very careful. Be vigilant about checking the cup when it is inevitably dropped on the ground by your child. Please share this with parents in your communities. I'm not out to "get" Green Sprouts, and I am not a litigious person, but I have to share my experience on the off chance it will prevent this from happening to anyone else. We got really lucky.
