Comments from the Manufacturer/Private Labeler
  • Baby Brezza Enterprises: We are very sorry to hear about this user’s experience and take complaints like this extremely seriously. Ensuring the Formula Pro works accurately is our #1 priority. We know from over eight years of selling the Formula Pro worldwide that the proper set-up and operation of the Formula Pro is essential to its proper operation, including accurate dispensing. We don’t know if this user followed our detailed instructions to ensure its proper set-up and use. This includes choosing the right formula setting for the formula brand/type that a user is using, cleaning the funnel after every 4 bottles and wiping the underside of the powder container after every 4 bottles. When users do this, they are delighted with the Formula Pro Advanced and call it a “lifesaver”. In fact, 91% of the 4,559 reviews on Amazon.com are 4 and 5 stars. To learn more about our confidence in the Formula Pro Advanced, please visit www.babybrezza.com/pages/formulaproaccuracy. Additionally, we have extensive testing protocols to ensure the accuracy of the product. This includes extensive QA testing on major components before the appliance leaves our factory. We also test every major formula brand/type at least once a year to ensure the formula setting is accurate and dispenses the same formula to water ratio as measured by weight as stated on the formula label. We are of course very concerned about this baby’s health and development but aren’t able to verify what’s stated in this report. This user didn’t contact our Customer Service, and wouldn’t permit his/her contact information to be released to us. Without this, we are unable to learn more about how the machine was used. Also, we don’t know anything about this baby’s overall health and development, the baby’s feeding schedule, the type of formula used, the baby’s home environment, etc. that could have contributed to the baby’s being reported as underweight. Lastly, the Formula Pro was recently sampled, reviewed and tested by the CPSC which determined that the product did not evidence a defect which created a substantial hazard or otherwise present a serious risk of injury to the public when used. Please ask this user to contact our Customer Service at CS@babybrezza.com or 888-396-6552 to discuss and address their concerns. Thanks.
