Incident Details
- Incident Description: I am reporting a safety concern involving a baby bottle washer and dryer "Momcozy KleanPal Pro Baby Bottle Washer and Sterilizer" that appears to be degrading during normal use. After only a few months of typical use, the internal plastic basket and water nozzle components became brittle and broke apart, discovered only upon inspection when the bottles were not coming out clean, looked inside to find broken pieces of plastic from the inner basket. Upon further inspection, I observed a wad of fibrous, fuzzy plastic material lodged in the nozzle, along with more visible fragmentation of plastic components inside the unit. The plastic appears to be breaking down, becoming brittle, and shedding material during normal operation with water, heat, and standard cleaning cycles. This creates a potential safety hazard because the device is used to clean baby bottles and feeding components. Degraded plastic fibers or fragments may be sprayed onto or deposited inside bottles, creating a risk of ingestion of microplastic by infants. Larger fragments could also remain in bottles and pose a choking hazard. In addition, blockage of the nozzle by debris may increase internal pressure and lead to further breakage or unpredictable failure. The product was used under normal conditions. Frequency of use was 2-3 times daily. Detergent used was "Momcozy Official Washing Block for Momcozy KleanPal Pro Baby Bottle Washer, 120 Detergent Tablets". I have photos showing the broken plastic basket, nozzle blockage, and fibrous plastic debris. The product has been retained and is available for inspection if needed. This is not an isolated incident as a quick [REDACTED] shearch shows dozens of users on [REDACTED] that have similar discerning experiences where their Momcozy bottle washer also broke down with pieces of plastic and nozzles clogged. Search term used was "momcozy bottle washer broke". Given that this product is used in infant feeding preparation, this issue may present an unreasonable risk under normal use and may warrant investigation, safety warning, or recall if confirmed. Around the time I discovered the defect, my baby (10 months old) began to suffer from unidentified source of hives and urticaria, and is currently undergoing medical treatment to identify the cause. There are also reports of similar safety concerns or recalls involving plastic degradation or contamination risks in infant-related products in Korea, which caused nationwide recall and investigation into the accidental ingesgure of microplastics in infants. The brands recalled in Korea were called [REDACTED] and it is highly suspected by many consumers that Momcozy, [REDACTED], along with other brands of popular baby bottle washer machines, are all produced by the same manufactures in China.
