About 10,500 units of stainless steel cups and bottles have been voluntarily recalled by Green Sprouts, a manufacturer of reusable baby products, over a possible lead poisoning hazard. The recalled Green Sprouts bottles have been sold at major retailers, including Whole Foods stores nationwide, and online at Amazon, Target, Buy Buy Baby, and Bed Bath & Beyond from January 2020 through September 2022 for between $14 and $19.
Lead is poisonous to anyone who handles it and touches their eyes, nose, or mouth, or if it is ingested. The metal is especially harmful to children, according to the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences. The poisonous metal exposure can cause a range of adverse health effects, including developmental delays and learning disabilities in children.
What is the recall for?
According to the alert from the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), the bottom base of the products can break off, exposing a solder dot that contains lead and poses a lead-poisoning hazard to whoever uses the product.
The CPSC received seven reports of the base detaching from the bottles and exposing the solder dot to the costumers. Green Sprouts says the company made the voluntary recall after they were aware the cups contained lead. There have been no official injuries reported to the CPSC so far regarding the recall.
Which Green Sprouts bottle products are recalled?
The following are the three recalled products with the name, size, description, and tracking number, which is found printed on the bottom of the bottle:
Sprout Ware Sippy Cup made from Plants and Stainless Steel, 6 oz, Stainless Steel Sippy Cup, 29218V06985 or 35719V06985
Sprout Ware Sip & Straw Cup made from Plants and Stainless Steel, 6 oz, Stainless Steel Sip & Straw Cup, 33020V06985
Sprout Ware Straw Bottle made from Plants and Stainless Steel, 8 oz, Stainless Steel Straw Bottle, 29218V06985 or 35719V06985
G/O Media may get a commission
The stainless steel bottles come with one out of three types of closures—either a silicone sippy spout with colored plastic lid, collar and handles; a silicone sippy spout with colored SproutWare lid, collar and handles; or a silicone straw with SproutWare screw-on flip cap. According to the company alert, all stainless-steel bottles with a removable base cover are affected, including the colors aqua, pink, green, navy, and grey.
What should you do if you have the bottles?
If you have any of the recalled bottles, the CPSC recommends taking them away from children and discarding them. You can contact Green Sprouts at 800-876-1574 between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday, or email Green Sprouts at ContactUs@GreenSprouts.com for a full refund or store credit. Green Sprouts asks that if you have the product to fill out the form on their alert. They will contact all known customers who purchased the recalled products directly.
I recently watched “ the greatest film of all time ,” and the most boring one. In retrospect, the title alone should have been a sufficient warning: Jeanne Dielman, 23 Quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles . Alas, I’m old enough to be a bit nostalgic about massive telephone address books. And massive it is. Clocking over 200 minutes, Chantal Akerman's 1975 dreary drama follows three days in the monotonous routine of Jeanne, a widow, a mother, and a prostitute. I watched Jeanne’s autopilot existence, until, staring at her back as she washes dishes, I decided to fast-forward a couple of minutes, only to discover she was still at it. And Jeanne is equally thorough when she’s busy baking, cleaning, folding laundry, or shining her son’s shoes. She speaks so scarcely and mechanically, that it’s impossible to detect any emotion or volition beyond her carefully controlled chores . Watching Jeanne Dielman is what the word “painstaking” was invented for. Chantal...
Stored procedures: like functions for your SQL. A stored procedure is a batch of SQL statements created and stored on a database. You can reuse a stored procedure over and over again. A stored procedure can accept parameters, run a query, and return results. Many users can call a stored procedure and different applications can call it with different parameter values. What Are the Benefits of Using Stored Procedures? Apart from allowing multiple users and applications to reuse it, a stored procedure has other benefits. It is easy to modify. You can change a stored procedure when necessary and these updates will be reflected for all users. Furthermore, you don’t need to redeploy your application when you modify the stored procedure. It reduces network traffic because the server only passes the procedure’s name over the network and not the entire query. It improves database security since users don’t have direct access to tables. To make...
