The product, in the report: Glass and Sprout Ware Sip & Straw, baby and toddler sippy cup, light blueberry color, glass, plastic and silicone construction marketed for ages 6+ months. https://greensprouts.com/products/glass-and-sprout-ware%C2%AE-sip-straw?variant=43141240717443

My 15 month old son was drinking out of a Glass and Sprout Ware Sip & Straw cup today, made by Green Sprouts, that is advertised as being safe for babies 6+ months old. He dropped the cup, as babies do constantly, then took a drink out of it. I noticed milk dripping from the bottom of the cup and took it away, and saw that the glass liner inside the plastic outer coating was broken into sharp shards. My son was using the sippy cup as it was intended and we are not sure if there are any injuries yet from ingesting slivers of glass yet or now. We have to watch him for symptoms of coughing, vomiting, and blood in his stool, and if there is he needs to go to the emergency room likely for emergency surgery to remove any shards and to stop internal bleeding. The pediatrician was contacted immediately and gave instructions on what symptoms to look for, and what to do if any of the symptoms show up.

How badly, in CPSC’s words
Incident, No Injury

The company’s comments, in its own words

(4/12/2024) i play. inc.: Complainant reported to O2C Brands (and the CPSC) that her 18 mo. grandchild dropped the Sip & Straw bottle and the glass liner inside the bottle assembly broke. They feared glass shards might be ingested and took the child to the ER and the child has been observed since then with no observed harm. A follow-up call to the complainant indicated that the child suffered no harm and the complainant may not have been aware of the safety warnings and safety features of the bottle that prevents harm in the event the glass liner breaks.
Damaged bottle was returned to O2C Brands for inspection. The safety components were present, so there was no manufacturing issue with missing parts. The evidence indicates that the bottle was dropped on the bottom edge resulting in a fracture around the whole bottom of the bottle and a roughly circular disk out of the side of the liner.
There was no evidence of a manufacturing defect and we conclude that the damage came from product abuse beyond what should be reasonably expected of a glass drinking vessel.
Many parents are interested in making sure their children are not exposed to harmful chemicals. Thus, they prefer glass and silicone over thermoplastics and steel as ‘clean’ materials. There is a long history of using glass in infant feeding products and food storage (e.g. canning jars). Glass can be easily cleaned, washed in a dishwasher, and put in a sterilizer. This Sip and Straw bottle goes above and beyond ordinary glass feeding bottles in providing a clean and safer product.
In this product, the glass liner is guarded on the sides and bottom with a bio-PE injection molded cage spaced apart from the liner. The glass liner is sealed at the top by the edge flange of the drinking nipple and is captivated between the cage and the nipple’s screw down collar. The drinking nipple has built in strainers that filter liquid coming directly from the glass liner’s interior (for use of the bottle in the inverted position) or up through the dip tube (for use of the bottle in the upright position). All parts can be separated for easy cleaning.
In the case of breakage of the glass liner, most parts are held within the plastic cage, except for very small parts which would exit through openings in the cage. Liquid would then leak through the cage and should be readily apparent that the bottle has been damaged. The strainer at the drinking nipple will prevent any sizeable glass pieces from being ingested.
When introduced in 2021, this product was subjected to testing by Bureau Veritas to 16 CFR 1500.48 and 16 CFR 1500.49 which includes abuse testing per section § 1500.51 Test methods for simulating use and abuse of toys and other articles intended for use by children 18 months of age or less. This involves dropping 10 times from a height of 4.5 feet which should have revealed any deficiencies there. The bottles were also tested for USA government and industry requirements for Food Contact Articles; Food Contact Tableware & Utensils; Plastic Food Contact Articles; Ceramic, Porcelain, Glass, Stoneware Food Contact Articles; California Proposition 65, Children’s Products (Non Toys), CPSIA Requirements.
The bottle is marked with this warning on the outside:
ê Use with adult supervision. Check glass often for breakage.
The retail packaging also shows these warnings:
For your child’s health and safety. WARNING: Always use this product with adult supervision. Keep packaging out of reach of children. Straws are not suitable for a child under 6 months. Please see insert for additional warnings and information.
The aforementioned insert also repeats these warnings and adds additional ones related to safe handling of a glass vessel such as:
To avoid injury, do not allow child to walk or run with cup. Never attach to cords, ribbons, laces, or loose parts of clothing. The child can be strangled.
Glass containers may break. Avoid excessive drops and rough handling. If product is dropped or handled roughly, inspect glass before giving it to child.
Before each use, inspect the product. Discard and replace at the first sign of cracks, tears, or excessive wear appear. Throw away at the first sign of damage or weakness. Do not use cup if there any signs of cracks or glass fragments in the bottle.
---
We have not received complaints related to the glass breaking under ordinary use.
Tracking code molded into the bottom cap shows either 1/23 or 12/23 production date.

The product, in the report: Stainless steel water bottle

Choking Hazard
Stainless steel water bottle distributed by iPlay under the Green Sprouts brand (see link below). Product is marketed for use by infants and toddlers and is available from many retailers.
Water bottle has a push/pull valve at the top like a traditional water bottle, however in this case it is actually a silicone rubber stopper that can be pulled all the way out with a slightly harder tug, e.g. for cleaning. It’s sufficiently easy to pull out that my 23 month old did so with his teeth almost immediately.
The stopper itself is clearly a choking hazard -- about 1-1/2” long, 1” around at it’s widest part, overall about 5/8” diameter, and made of a compressible material (silicone rubber). Ironically it’s also designed to be the part that a 1-3 year old is supposed to put in their mouths and pull on to open the bottle.
