Consumers advised to carefully follow updated instructions for the Baby Bullet Food System
December 9, 2011
For immediate release
The issue:
Health Canada is advising consumers to obtain updated user instructions for the Baby Bullet Food System.
The updated instructions remind consumers to make sure that the system's silicone gasket is installed correctly before each use. If not installed correctly, the gasket can come into contact with the moving blades, get cut into pieces, and mixed into the food. The resulting pieces are not likely to pose a choking hazard and are not toxic if ingested. The instructions also now indicate that the blade assembly, other plastic parts and gaskets be hand-washed to prevent the gasket from becoming loose.
Who is affected:
Consumers who have purchased the Baby Bullet Food System.
What consumers should do
- Obtain the new instructions regarding proper use and follow the cautionary safeguards in the updated instruction manual.
- Inspect the gaskets prior to use to verify they are in good condition.
- Install the gaskets carefully and ensure the blade assembly is installed correctly so the gaskets do not dislodge or move easily during use.
- Inspect the gasket after each use to make sure it has not become loose.
- Hand-wash the blade holders and gaskets. Do not use automatic dishwashers for cleaning.
