Hazard

The teat broke easily during the traction test, producing small pieces of latex that could asphyxiate a baby. Given that both natural rubber latex and synthetic latex are available, and that natural rubber produces the majority of allergic reactions in persons sensitive to rubber (or latex), an absence of this indication could result in sensitive persons suffering allergic reactions.These products do not comply with the relevant European Standard.
