Plain-English summary

Walgreen Co. is recalling approximately 40,000 Kid's Sipper Bottles in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). The recall is being conducted because the bottles' caps can be pulled off, which creates a potential choking hazard. CPSC and Walgreen are not aware of any injuries or incidents involving these bottles, and the recall is intended to prevent the possibility of injury.

The affected product is a 9-ounce rectangular bottle featuring one of four animal characters on the cap: a fish, frog, chicken (duck), or whale. The bottles include a plastic belt clip on the back. The packaging displays the text "KID'S Sipper Bottle with belt clip" and "For Ages 18 Mos. & Up," while the bottom of the bottle has a sticker reading "MADE IN CHINA."

These bottles were sold at Walgreens nationwide between March 1999 and April 1999 for $1.69 or two for $3. Consumers should stop using these bottles immediately and return them to the store where purchased for a refund. For more information, consumers can call (800) 934-4768 or visit www.walgreens.com.
