Incident Overview

According to a report filed on January 8, 2026, the consumer had been using Momi brand bottles, collars, and nipples with their newborn. The bottles fit tightly in the collars, which the consumer initially considered normal. However, they recently noticed a piece of blue plastic floating in a breastmilk bottle and discovered it was a shard from the plastic collar.

The consumer reported that the bottles appear defective, with the collars slowly stripping plastic inside, especially when switching from a breast milk storage disk to a nipple. After reporting the issue, Momtech inc. sent replacement collars and bottles, but the consumer found the same defect, with powdered plastic accumulating due to the glass bottle grinding against the collar interior when screwed on. The consumer requested a refund and asked the company to share the information with other consumers, but received no further response.

Safety Concerns

Immediate Dangers: The primary hazard is laceration from sharp plastic shards that can detach from the collar and enter the bottle. Infants drinking from contaminated bottles could ingest these shards, potentially causing cuts to the mouth, throat, or digestive tract. The shards may also be sharp enough to cause external cuts during handling or cleaning.

Long-Term Risks: Repeated ingestion of plastic fragments could lead to chronic irritation or injury to the gastrointestinal lining. Over time, the cumulative effect of consuming microplastics from the degrading collar may pose unknown health risks, especially for a developing infant.

Who Might Be Affected: The most vulnerable population is infants who use the bottles for feeding. Parents and caregivers handling the bottles may also be at risk of cuts when assembling or cleaning the product, particularly if shards are present on the exterior.

Warning Signs: Consumers should watch for visible plastic particles in the milk or bottle, unusual tightness when screwing the collar, or visible wear or scoring on the interior of the plastic collar. Any of these signs indicate the collar is degrading and may release shards.
