Pura silicone spout attachment tore and piece may have been swallowed
I purchased a Pura Kiki toddler bottle through Pura Australia. After about 8 months of use, part of the silicone XL-Sipper Spout tore off. I could not locate the missing piece, so I was concerned my toddler may have swallowed it.
Pura Australia ultimately took the position that 8 months represented a reasonable life expectancy for this silicone component, despite also clarifying that the spout does not have a fixed 8–12 week lifespan. Pura’s US website publishes similar guidance suggesting replacement of silicone mouthpieces every 8–12 weeks.
What concerns me particularly is that Pura itself told me that “a small tear will rapidly expand under regular use, which can cause pieces to detach.” That seems like important safety information for a component specifically designed to go in a young child’s mouth.
I contacted Pura US and forwarded the correspondence because I wanted to know whether Pura Australia’s position also reflected Pura’s position in the US, and because I was concerned about how the safety issue had been handled. I received no response.
I find it disappointing that a reusable toddler drinking product can apparently deteriorate to the point that silicone detaches into a child’s mouth, while the 8–12 week replacement recommendation is not clearly stated on the sippy-spout product page. I would also have expected Pura US to respond to a product-safety concern involving its product.
