Flagged as a product to avoid

1 of 11 research runs entered this as a product to avoid rather than a pick.

The vented base is a multi-part assembly that traps milk and residue if not perfectly seated, and the bottle needs disassembly beyond what its marketing suggests for proper cleaning. Over years of daily use that is a worse ownership proposition than a simple two-part bottle with a decent vent, which is exactly what Lansinoh and Evenflo sell.

The set consists of four cream-colored bottles and two light purple ones; only the purple ones were used (twice), but my baby didn't take to these bottles, so I switched to another brand. Each bottle features a vented base and a silicone nipple with a protective cap. I bought the extra nipples on Amazon; the four beige ones alone cost me $30. I just want to recoup my money since I’ve already taken them out of the box.
