A Sticky‑Sippy Safety Warning You’ll Want to Share
The Tiny Tragedy That Happened on August 14
On a sunny August 14, a one‑and‑a‑half‑year‑old boy, sipping from a plastic straw bottle, slipped and fell—only this time it wasn’t just the fall that was alarming. The bottle’s sharp edge ripped a chunk of his skin off the forehead and eyebrow. The incident happened in a flash, and the father was right beside his son the whole time.
“It was all in seconds,” the dad recalls, his voice tremble with disbelief.A quick video he posted shows the little munchkin happily sipping, then suddenly in a dizzying split second, a dramatic splash of blood. In the rush to get him to the ER, the child had to undergo surgery to close the wound; the medical team treated him for the heavy bleeding right away.
The “Award‑Winning” Bottle That Broke a Baby’s Face
The culprit? An Evorie Tritan sippy bottle bought from Shopee after some “research.” The product was marketed for babies older than six months, and the listing even featured infants drinking from it. The dad dismissed the price, insisting he’d bought the safest possible bottle for his son.
“I wish the company could tell me how an apparently safe cup could wield a blade that slices a baby’s face so severe,” he says. The mystery of the bottle’s sharpness continues to baffle him even weeks after the incident.He’s left staring at his son’s healing wound each day, haunted by the idea of future teasing, bullying, or a life altered by a scar. As a parent, he’s determined to spend all his time and energy on raising awareness and preventing similar accidents for other little ones.
What the Parents Need to Know
| Key Takeaway | Why It Matters |
|---|---|
| Check the bottle’s design | Even “approved” sippy cups can have sharp corners; always inspect the edges before purchase. |
| Watch closely | Toddlers move unpredictably; close supervision is a must, especially with cups that latch onto the mouth. |
| Ask the manufacturer | Demand transparency on safety features—if there’s a risk, manufacturers should tell you! |
Man and Baby: A Family’s Story
“Seeing my son stumble so quickly, blood gushing out, it was a nightmare I can’t shake,” the father confesses, eyes glistening. “I’ve vowed not to let any other child face a similar horror.”Despite the emotional heaviness, the dad keeps a thin stream of humor: “This happy little sippy bottle has turned my child’s face into an unintended art canvas. Didn’t think my kid would become a living Picasso, but here we are!”
