Contigo is recalling 5.7 million kids’ water bottles sold by Walmart, Costco, Target, and many other stores over a potential choking hazard.
In a recall alert on Tuesday, Contigo said the silicone spouts can detach from the bottles and pose a choking risk to children.
The company said it has received 149 reports of the spouts detaching, including 18 instances where the detached spouts were found in children’s mouths.

The recalled water bottles sold for between $9 and $24 at stores nationwide and online from April 2018 through June 2019.
The products are called "Contigo Kids Cleanable" water bottles and they come in three sizes, included 13 ounces, 14 ounces, and 20 ounces. The recall only impacts bottles with a black-colored spout base and cover.
The company said anyone with the water bottles should "immediately stop using the recalled water bottles, take them away from children and contact Contigo for inspection instructions and a free replacement lid."
