Green Sprouts Stainless Steel Bottles and Cups Recalled for Lead Hazard

Green Sprouts is recalling approximately 10,500 stainless steel straw bottles, sippy cups, and sip & straw cups because the bottom base can break off, exposing a solder dot containing lead. Children who ingest lead can suffer adverse health effects.

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.

Our severity reasoning: Lead is a high-risk toxicant harmful to children; the source explicitly confirms lead exposure risk to young children. Although no injuries have been reported, the hazard is serious and the product is designed for toddlers, meeting the High criteria for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.

Plain-English summary

Green Sprouts Inc., of Asheville, North Carolina, is recalling approximately 10,500 stainless steel straw bottles, sippy cups, and sip & straw cups sold from January 2020 through September 2022.

The recalled products have tracking numbers 29218V06985, 35719V06985, or 33020V06985 printed on the bottom base. They were available in 6 oz and 8 oz sizes, in aqua, pink, green, and navy colors, with various closure options including silicone sippy spouts, straw spouts, plastic lids, and flip caps.
