    The product, in the report: Munchkin Fresh Food Chopper and Steamer

    I was using the munchkin chop and steam baby food preparation unit. It has metal cross cut blades to first chop vegetables and fruit before they are steamed. I used it today to chop sweet potatoe and after I had finished I found many pieces of white plastic in the chopped sweet potatoe. The plastic had been shaved from the piece that pushes the food through the blades. on closer inspection of the food, approximately 10-15 plastic shards of about 1/8 & 1/4 inch long pieces were mixed with the food. I have used this product once before and fed the batch to my baby over the last week, I’m obviously worried that he has previously ingested these plastic fragments, before I realized the product was faulty/dangerous. I have images of all of the equipment and the plastic shards if you want me to provide them. I will also keep the pieces of plastic for when I contact the manufacturer.
