Plain-English summary

Contigo USA is reannouncing a recall of approximately 5.7 million Kids Cleanable Water Bottles sold in the United States, Canada, and Mexico. The recall includes water bottles sold from April 2018 through February 7, 2020, as well as replacement lids provided to consumers during a previous recall in August 2019. The affected bottles feature a clear silicone spout with a black base and cover, and are available in 13-ounce, 14-ounce, and 20-ounce sizes in solid colors, graphics, and stainless steel variations.

The recall is being issued because the clear silicone spout can detach from the bottle, creating a choking hazard for children. Contigo has received 427 reports of the spout detaching, including 27 instances where the detached spout was found in a child's mouth. The bottles were sold at retailers including Costco, Walmart, and Target, as well as online, for prices between $9 and $24.

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled water bottles and any replacement lids received in the previous recall. They should take the products away from children and contact Contigo for a free replacement water bottle. Consumers can reach Contigo toll-free at 888-262-0622 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday, or visit www.gocontigo.com/recall for more information.
