A self-described "natural" baby product company is recalling 10,500 of its stainless steel bottles and cups for toddlers that pose a risk of lead poisoning, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission announced Wednesday.
"Lead is toxic if ingested by young children, and can cause adverse health effects," the recall notice said.
"We are undertaking the costs and challenges of a #recall voluntarily because our customers’ health and safety must come first."
While Green Sprouts is based in Asheville, North Carolina, the products subject to recall were made in China, according to the notice.
On its website, Green Sprouts founder and president Becky Cannon writes the company has "holistic foundations" and is inspired by "the traditional Japanese approach to health and well-being."
