A company that makes natural products for babies has recalled about 10,500 bottles and cups after learning children could be exposed to material containing lead if the base breaks off, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission said.
Green Sprouts has received seven reports of incidents of the bottles’ base breaking off, according to the commission. No injuries have been reported since the Nov. 23 recall was issued, the agency said.Catch up on the headlines, understand the news and make better decisions, free in your inbox every day.In a statement on its website, Green Sprouts said it wasn’t aware that a component containing lead could become accessible in its stainless-steel straw bottles, sippy cups and sip-and-straw cups.
The part of the cups with the solder dot containing lead wouldn’t normally be accessible, so it wasn’t tested by the safety lab hired to vet the products as part of the manufacturing process, the company said.
