Choking Hazard on Children’s Water Bottles Causes 2nd Recall

Parents - check your cabinets, a choking hazard has caused Contigo to recall nearly 6 million children's water bottles.

The recall was issued on February 19th for the 'Contigo Kids Cleanable Water Bottles' and specifically includes the clear silicone spout, as it can detach and pose a choking hazard to children.

According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission,

This recall involves Contigo Kids Cleanable water bottles and replacement lids that were given to consumers as part of the August 2019 recall of this product. The base and cover of the clear silicone spout will always be BLACK. Only black colored spout base and spout cover models are included in this recall. Contigo is printed on the rim and along the front near the bottom of the bottle. The water bottles come in three sizes (13 ounce, 14 ounce and 20 ounce) and four colors (solid color, graphics, stainless steel and stainless steel solid colors). The water bottles were sold individually as well as in two-packs and three-packs.

Consumers are encouraged to cease using the product immediately, and contact Contigo for a replacement water bottle. This comes after more than 400 reports of the spout detaching from the bottles. The products included in the recall were sold between April 2018 and up until February 7, 2020 at many major retailers and through online sites as well.
