Hi, I am from Argentina and I use the AVENT ISIS VIA breast pump to extract milk for my 3-months old daugther when i am at work. I would really appreciate if someone could tell me if this breast pump is BPA free or should I trhow it away and get another one. Unfortunatelly it is no use to get this information from Phillips without being told a lie. Many thanks and greetings for all!

I tried both Target and Babies R Us and neither store would accept the bottles back. So now I’m trying with an email in to the Avent consumer support site. Doesn’t seem too promising. Any other store suggestions? Or perhaps I don’t live in a “crunchy” enough area of the states.

You can also take them into toysrus and they will give you store credit. There is no limit , you don’t need a receipt or a box. I got almost $70.00 for all my bottles! Not bad.

Check out a company called NUBY. Many of their products have 0% BPA.
This is their website: http://www.nube.be

The products are available in the USA. Not sure about Canada.
They are now also available in the Dutch Caribbean, as I am distributing them.

I was given a bunch of AVENT Naturally baby bottles, a warmer and a breast pump. I guess I will not be using them now that I checked them out……… Thank you for standing up to AVENT.

@RPA. lol. you’re seriously upset that a company producing a product that is actually safe is going to benefit over a company that produces carniogenic and toxic products?

pull on your hair a little harder, your head is still stuck in your ass.

The only ones profiting from this are the BPA free companies, like Born Free, how expensive are their bottles!!! And I think it’s not fair….

I just returned my Avent bottles to Target in Wheaton, IL yesterday for a full refund (pretty cool, considering the bottles were over 8 years old). It appeared to be a corporate-wide recall, but I would contact your local store just to make sure.

[...] One blogger, (The Blog According to Buzz), called them “one of the worst offenders when it comes to BPA.” Zrecs referred to Philips Avent as the “most aggressive defenders of the safety of polycarbonate plastic and the largest producer of baby bottles in the United States …” The site also reported that the company will be introducing a BPA-free reusable bottle this summer, but I couldn’t find any other references supporting this news.
