Kid's Water Bottles Recalled for Choking Hazard
posted by Lance Houston -
The popular water bottle brand Contigo has issued a voluntary recall of 5.7 million kids cleanable water bottles, due to a potential choking hazard.
The Chicago-based company issued the recall on Tuesday over concerns that the detachable spout could pose a choking hazard. The water bottles involved have a black spout and base. The company says they have received 149 complaints, including 18 incidents in which the spout was discovered in a child's mouth.
Contigo will supply a free replacement lid for faulty products, and they have provided an online form so consumers can place an order for their free replacement lid.
