Contigo announced it’s calling back nearly 6 million kids water bottles over a potential choking hazard. The recall, announced by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission on Wednesday, comes after the water bottles were subject to a recall in August for the same reason. 

In a notice posted to its website, the safety commission said Contigo Kids Cleanable water bottles and the replacement lids sent to consumers following the initial recall in August are being called back because the bottle’s “clear silicone spout can detach, posing a choking hazard to children.”

“Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled water bottles and the replacement lids provided in the previous recall, take them away from children, and contact Contigo for a free water bottle. Consumers who received replacement lids in the previous recall should contact Contigo for the new water bottle,” says the recall notice.
