About 10,500 bottles and cups for toddlers have been recalled due to lead poisoning concerns.
The commission said in a post on Wednesday that the solder dot on the base of the bottles and cups could pose a potential poison hazard to children.
The company is aware of seven incidents in which the base broke, but no one has been injured.
The commission said that lead can cause health problems.
The commission said consumers should discard cups and bottles if they are near children.
There is no risk to the health and safety of users. The costs and challenges of this recall are being undertaken voluntarily.
The company said that the solder dot was not tested by a safety lab because it was supposed to be accessible.
As we approach the redesign of these products, whose benefits for keeping drinks cold safely have made them a popular choice for parents, we will make sure that lead is not used as a soldering material.
The lid and spout can be used with other cups and bottles.
The recalled products are in 6 and 8 ounces. The commission said they were available at Buy Buy Baby and Whole Foods from January 2020 to September 2022.
According to the commission, Green Sprouts is contacting all known buyers. The company will give refunds to those who purchased the products.
According to the World Health Organization, high levels of lead exposure can cause comas and convulsions in children. Behavioral effects are thought to be irreversible.
According to a W.H.O. statement, children who survive lead poisoning may be left with intellectual disabilities and behavioral disorders.
