    The product, in the report: Born Free pink transition sippy cup

    We have 28 Born Free glass bottles we use for our twins. We have spent a good deal of money on and been satisfied with their products. The other day I bought two transition sippy cups. The first thing we noticed was that the sippy cup handles do not secure on the glass bottles as we understood they were supposed to. So we put them back on the plastic bottles and gave that a try. Within about three uses, we noticed a tiny piece of plastic and we did not know the origin. With investigation we found one of the teeth in the handle had broken off. Looking further we saw a fraction of another tooth had broken off as well. Obviously this is a design flaw and choking hazard. We are very concerned about this and have yet to hear back from Summer Infant. I have a photo if that will help.

    The product, in the report: Born Free 5 oz glass bottle

    This afternoon, my ten month old daughter’s caretaker gave her a short (4 oz in a 5 oz bottle) glass Born-free bottle. We’ve been using both the Born-Free glass and plastic bottles sporadically since she was first born and exclusively since six months without problem. My daughter took ahold of the top nipple part of the bottle because we are teaching her to feed herself and she gave the bottle a good clunk on the floor. That glass bottle shattered right in front of her, not broke into large pieces, but shattered. Fortunately her caretaker was quick enough to get her out of the way but not before her little foot was cut by the glass. I am so angry. Anything could have happened. Those bottles should be built to withstand a baby playing with them.
