Safety alert: Nuby recalls kids' water bottles

Nuby has issued a recall for certain batches of its Incredible Gulp and Super Quench cups, due to a potential choking hazard.

The recall applies to all Incredible Gulp and Super Quench cups purchased from the Nuby UK website, Asda, Morrisons, Tesco and Boots between 1 November 2021 and 14 January 2022.

If you've purchased one of these products, you should stop using it immediately. Nuby is offering a full refund for all those that purchased an affected product.

Read on for the full details, including why it's being recalled, and what to do if you're affected.

Why are the cups being recalled?

In its recall statement, Nuby said there was a small chance the silicone straw and spout in the lid of the affected cups may be damaged, which could cause the mouth part of the spout to detach when pulled.

If detached, the mouth part may be a potential choking hazard, so Nuby has decided to recall affected batches of this product.

What should you do if you own a Nuby cup that's affected?

If you have purchased one of the affected models, you should stop using it immediately.

Nuby is asking customers to fill in an online formwith details of the product purchased, as well as the place and date it was purchased.

Its customer service team will then provide further details on how to return the item and receive a full refund.

'We apologise for the inconvenience this causes and thank you for your co-operation.

'If you have any concerns or questions about this recall, you can contact our helpline on 0800 334 5844 or email enquiries@nuby-uk.com.'
