OTTAWA, ON. — Health Canada has issued a recall of water bottles manufactured by Contigo that pose a choking hazard to children.

The recall, issued Tuesday, involves Contigo Kids Cleanable water bottles, which were sold between April 2018 and June 2019. Health Canada says only water bottles with a black colour spout base and black colour are part of the recall.

The water bottle’s clear silicone spout can detach, which can become a choking hazard for children.
