Plain-English summary

Klean Kanteen Inc. is recalling approximately 1.2 million Sport Cap 2.0 water bottle spouts in the United States and 102,000 in Canada. The recalled spouts are made of black plastic with an attachment loop and have "Klean Kanteen" stamped on the side.

The firm has received six reports of incidents where the spouts broke or cracked in children's mouths while they were drinking. No injuries have been reported in connection with these incidents. The spouts were sold at outdoor sports stores, including LLBean, as well as grocery and specialty stores nationwide, and online at www.llbean.com from April 2009 through April 2010. Prices ranged from $5 for the spout alone to between $15 and $28 when sold with a stainless steel water bottle.
