Plastic From Baby Food Blender Nearly Chokes 6-Month-Old Boy

Mom Natalie Haake was terrified when her so  Jack began to choke as he ate his sweet potato puree. 

Her partner, John Paul, immediately rushed over to the newborn and was, fortunately, able to get Jack to throw up whatever it was that got caught in his throat, Haake told thesun.co.uk, 

“It was terrifying. I felt a hard piece of material in the food he’d thrown up – it was a piece of plastic.”

Mom discovered that a piece of plastic had apparently broken apart from Jack’s Tommee Tippee Baby Food Steamer Blender, and it wound up in his food. 

Following her scare, Haake checked all the other meals she prepared for her son in the fridge and she found that many of the fruit and vegetable pots also had plastic in it. Now, the couple is calling Tommee Tippee to issue a warning to its customers or to even pull their product off the shelves. 

Had the plastic spike lodged in Jack’s throat, the baby boy could have died. The concerned mom said, “I’m very worried that this could happen to a child who might not be as lucky as Jack. The machine should be pulled if there’s something wrong with it. I would never have thought this product would be unsafe.”

“You would never think to look at a child’s food before feeding them after using a machine you trust to be safe,” Haake continued.

Haake adds that she purchased her Tomme Tippee three weeks ago, so it was fairly new. “Other mothers won’t know about this unless they are warned. I know mums and dads who have bought this item from Tommee Tippee and they have stopped using it,” she said.

Tommee Tippee manufacturers have launched a full investigation following Haake’s concerns, and they will examine Haake’s blender, as well as issue the mom a refund.
