BRITA is recalling about 242,500 children’s hard-sided water filter bottles because the lids can break or crack into sharp pieces. There have been 35 reports of these lids breaking, which creates a risk of cuts and lacerations to children using the bottles. Affected products include 15-ounce bottles featuring Dora the Explorer, Hello Kitty, SpongeBob Square Pants, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles characters sold at major retailers like Target, Walmart, and Amazon between June 2013 and July 2014. Consumers should stop using the bottles immediately and contact Brita for a full refund.
The plastic lid on these bottles can break or shatter during use, creating sharp edges and points that can cut a child's mouth or hands. While no injuries have been reported, Brita has received 35 separate reports of the lids failing in this manner.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled water bottles and contact Brita to receive a postage-paid shipping package to return the bottles for a full refund.
