What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Plain-English summary

Base Brands LLC is recalling approximately 2,000 Reduce Hydro Pro Furry Friends water bottles. The recall involves stainless steel, 14-ounce insulated bottles sold in a pack of two: a pink bottle with a bear face and a gray bottle with a lamb head. The bottles were sold at Costco Wholesale stores nationwide and online at Amazon.com from January 2018 through February 2018 for about $13.

The recall is due to a violation of the federal lead paint standard. The pink paint on the outside of the bear water bottle contains levels of lead that exceed the limit. Lead is toxic if ingested by young children and can cause adverse health issues. No injuries have been reported.

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled water bottles and take them away from children. Costco and Amazon are contacting known purchasers directly. Consumers who purchased the bottles via Amazon should contact Base Brands for a free replacement water bottle, including shipping, or a full refund. Those who purchased from Costco can return the bottles to any Costco store for a full refund. For more information, consumers can contact Base Brands toll-free at 833-600-2887 between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday, email [email protected], or visit www.reduceeveryday.com and click on Safety Notices.
