Company Makes 500 Copies Of Discontinued Cup For Man's Autistic Son
This special teal sippy cup is the only one Ben will drink from - and now, thanks to one compassionate company, he'll never need to search for a new one.

The cup production was also down to the overwhelming love and support shown across social channels, so BIG THANKS to you all too. #CupForBen pic.twitter.com/CRd26AGOji

 

A distressed father took to Twitter earlier this month to find a replacement for his autistic son's beloved sippy cup - the story eventually gained so much traction, it caught the attention of the manufacturer.

Ben's father, Marc, posted a photo of the cup to social media, asking if anyone could send him a replacement. Users started tracking results and responses with the #CupForBen movement hashtag, until Tommee Tippee, the baby product manufacturing company responsible for the model stepped in to help.

The company located the blueprint for the 10-year discontinued cup in a Chinese factory and restarted production to make 500 units so Ben will never again find himself without his favorite cup.
