June 17, 2026 — A formal incident report has been filed with the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) regarding a serious defect in the Momcozy BS03 baby bottle washer, alleging that internal plastic components are fracturing and potentially contaminating infant feeding equipment with microplastics. The CPSC has been urged to investigate and consider a product recall.
Product Details
Product: Momcozy BS03
Incident Overview
The incident report details a concerning defect in the Momcozy BS03 baby bottle washer, where internal plastic components, specifically the lower basket and bottle holders, have reportedly become severely brittle and begun to fracture. This degradation occurred within less than one year of normal use, with the machine operating three to four cycles per day. The consumer stated that only the manufacturer’s official cleaning tablets were used, and all recommended maintenance procedures were followed. Furthermore, the unit was exclusively used to wash glass bottles, indicating it was not used beyond its stated purpose.
The defect was discovered during a routine deep cleaning of the machine, raising concerns that an infant may have been unknowingly exposed to contaminants for an indeterminate period. The report suggests this is not an isolated incident, citing online research that reveals a pattern of identical complaints from other consumers across [REDACTED] and Amazon, where numerous parents have reported similar disintegrating plastic components. The complainant has offered to provide links to these widespread reports upon request.
Safety Concerns
The reported defect in the Momcozy BS03 baby bottle washer poses significant health risks, particularly for newborns and infants who are the primary users of the cleaned feeding equipment.
- Immediate Dangers: The most immediate concern is the potential for microplastics and plastic fragments from the degrading internal components to contaminate baby bottles and nipples. Infants feed directly from these items, meaning they could unknowingly ingest these plastic particles. The hidden nature of the defect, discovered only during deep cleaning, amplifies this danger as parents may be unaware their child is being exposed.
- Long-Term Risks: The long-term health effects of microplastic ingestion on infants are largely unknown but are a growing area of scientific concern. Infants are a vulnerable population, and their developing bodies may be more susceptible to adverse effects from exposure to foreign materials.
- Who Might Be Affected: Newborns and infants who use bottles washed in the affected machine are directly at risk. Parents and caregivers who rely on the product for sanitizing feeding equipment may also be affected by the emotional distress and potential medical concerns arising from their child’s exposure.
- Property Damage Potential: While the primary concern is health, the product itself is failing prematurely, leading to a loss of functionality and value for consumers.

If you own a Momcozy BS03 Baby Bottle Washer, we advise you to take the following actions:
