According to the ACCC, the recalled Stainless Steel Bottles and Cup Bottom Bases can break off, exposing a solder dot that contains Lead, posing a Lead poisoning hazard to a child due to levels of Lead that exceed the Australia’s heath and safety regulations. Lead is toxic if ingested by young children and can cause adverse health effects.

Excessive levels of Lead can be toxic or cause other health problems to young children if the paint is ingested and pose risks to the health and safety of people who utilize the product in a reasonable manner expected with its intended design and anticipated use.

Proposed Remedy:
If you believe you have purchased or have in your possession any of the recalled Children’s Bottles and Sippy Cups, please do not use them. Instead, kindly take the Bottles and/or Cups away from your child and contact For Baby and Up for a full refund, including shipping, by e-mailing the company at info@forbabyandup.com.au.

==> If you have a medical emergency, please contact 9-1-1, your closest hospital or emergency centre equipped to properly treat poisoning, developmental impairment, and/or long-term damage, reproductive delays and/or long-term damage, genetoxicity and/or mutagenicity.
