Once when my youngest was less than a year old, I was spooning out yogurt into a cup for her. Found a piece of paper towel roughly 2" square. I dried it out, sent it back to company with a letter and received a bunch of free coupons along with apology. They said they wipe out the machines with paper towels at the end of each day, and would reevaluate their process. So glad I didn't just hand her the little container to eat from - she could have choked.
