Lead and cadmium are highly toxic, especially to children. A range of serious health effects have been associated with exposure to lead and cadmium, including anemia, vomiting, diarrhea, serious brain injury, convulsions, coma, as well as effects related to the liver, kidneys, heart and immune system. In extreme cases, there have been deaths.

Sampling and evaluation by Health Canada’s Radiation Protection Bureau has determined that this product measures inaccurate radon levels and likely poses a danger to human health or safety.
Radon is a radioactive gas that comes from the breakdown of uranium in soil and rock. It is invisible, odourless and tasteless. When radon is released from the ground into the outdoor air, it is diluted and is not a concern. However, in enclosed spaces, like homes, it can accumulate to high levels and become a risk to the health of you and your family. Long term exposure to radon gas is the second leading cause of lung cancer in Canada, after smoking. The Canadian guideline level for radon in indoor air is 200 Becquerel per cubic meter (Bq/m3).
As of May 1, 2025, the company has received no reports of incidents or injuries in Canada.

Infant self-feeding devices are banned in Canada.
These devices allow an infant to either hold the bottle and feed before developing the needed muscles to do this independently, or the bottles are situated in a way that makes it difficult for the infant to stop feeding. As a result, this product pose a choking or aspiration hazard to the infants using them, which can end in illness or death from aspirating the feeding liquid. When feeding, infants regurgitate small amounts of liquid food; therefore, they should be monitored at all times while feeding to ensure the caregiver can intervene if any concerning fluid intake or behaviours appear.
Feeding is traditionally interrupted periodically by the caregiver to burp the infant, which cannot be done if direct supervision is not provided. Unattended infant feeding practices are discouraged by Health Canada and Canadian professional medical associations as independent feeding should not be done until the child is ready.
