Baby Bottle Recall
TOMY Recalls 40,000 Walmart Baby Bottles Over Choking Hazard From Peeling Plastic
TOMY International is recalling about 40,000 Boon NURSH 8 oz Reusable Baby Bottles sold exclusively at Walmart stores and on Walmart.com, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission announced on June 4, 2026. The hard plastic outer shell of the bottles can bubble and peel, creating loose, film-like pieces that could choke a young child. CPSC assigned the recall number 26-530.
No injuries have been reported, but TOMY says it received 135 reports of the outer shell bubbling or peeling. The company is offering affected families a replacement set or a $22 store credit. Parents should stop using the bottles immediately.
How to Know If Your Bottle Is Affected
The recalled bottle is the Boon NURSH 8 oz Reusable Baby Bottle in a Pink Tie Dye 3-Pack. Walmart sold the bottles starting in November 2025, and sales ended in May 2026. To check if you have one, look for item number B11654 and UPC 669028116546 on the packaging. The 3-pack sold for about $20, according to WHAS11.
TOMY set up a dedicated recall website at recall.tomy.com/nursh. Parents can visit that page to request a remedy. Walmart has also blocked the item in its system to stop any further sales, according to WNEP.
Plastic Shell Bubbles and Peels, Posing Choking Risk
The Boon NURSH bottle has a silicone pouch on the inside and a hard plastic shell on the outside. The problem is with that outer shell. It can bubble and peel away, leaving small, film-like pieces of plastic loose in the bottle. A young child could swallow one of those pieces and choke, according to KARE11.
Manufacturing experts say plastic bubbling often happens when raw materials contain too much moisture, or when melt temperatures are wrong during production. TOMY called the recall a proactive step, saying, "Boon is committed to the safety and satisfaction of families who use its products... We want to ensure that your child has only the safest products we can offer."
TOMY's Recall History and Rising Baby Product Risks
This is not TOMY's first recall. In 2023, the company recalled more than 85,000 Boon FLAIR highchairs after loose bolts caused at least 24 injuries. The company also recalled a Lamaze teether in 2022 and a Lamaze toy in 2017, according to WTOL.
Baby product recalls are rising sharply. Analysts report that 145 baby products were recalled in 2025 alone — double the number from a decade earlier — making it a 10-year high. Experts point to stricter federal enforcement and a surge in third-party online sellers as the main drivers, according to 5 News Online.
What Families Should Do Right Now
Stop using the bottle immediately if you have item number B11654. Do not throw it away — you will need it to get your remedy. Visit recall.tomy.com/nursh or call TOMY's consumer line to start your claim. TOMY is offering either a free replacement or a $22 store credit, according to FOX61.
With 40,000 units out in homes, the CPSC urges parents to act fast. If TOMY's direct total cost for refunds and replacements is calculated at $22 per unit, the company faces a liability of more than $880,000 before shipping and handling costs. The CPSC says no injuries have been tied to this specific recall so far, according to KVUE.
