care instructions for b.box drinking cups and bottles


warning!

Always use this product with adult supervision. Accidents have occurred when babies and toddlers have been left alone with drinking equipment due to the child falling or if the product has disassembled.

Never use feeding teats as a soother. Continuous and prolonged sucking of fluids will cause tooth decay. Tooth decay in young children can occur even when non‑sweetened fluids are used. This can occur if the child is allowed to use the bottle or cup for long periods through the day and particularly through the night, when saliva flow is reduced or if it is used as a soother.

Always check food temperature before feeding. Heating in a microwave may produce localised high temperatures.

Keep all components not in use out of reach of children. Straws are not suitable for a child under 6 months.

Inspect before each use and pull the feeding teat in all directions. Throw away at first signs of damage or weakness.

Do not leave a feeding teat, spout or straw in direct sunlight or heat or leave in disinfectant (“sterilising solution”) for longer than recommended, as this may weaken the teat, spout or straw. Before first use, place teat in boiling water for 5 minutes to ensure hygiene. Clean before each use.

Take extra care when microwave heating. Always stir heated food to ensure even heat distribution and test the temperature before serving. Do not allow child to bite or chew product. Individual parts may pose a choking hazard. Hot liquids may cause burns. Do not use with liquid over 45 °C (113 °F). If using with warm contents, be careful when opening as pressure may build up and cause liquid to spray.

instructions for use

Before first use only: Disassemble the product and place components in boiling water for 5 min, ensuring they do not touch the sides of the container. Product quality and safety is not impacted by one‑time only sterilisation.

Ongoing care: Do not wash in boiling or hot water after first use as this can impact material integrity over time. Hand wash in warm soapy water—no abrasives or scourers. Do not soak. Pat dry gently or air dry. Dishwasher safe (top rack only); not recommended for metal or printed plastics (prints may fade but won’t affect performance). Ensure all parts are dry before storage.

The base of all plastic drinking products can be microwaved for up to 30 sec at a time. Do not microwave with the lid attached. Never microwave metal (including sippy‑cup weights) or use in a traditional oven.

Check product before and after each use for damage or deterioration; discard at first sign of weakness. Some liquids may discolour the product—this will not impact performance. Do not use with hot or carbonated drinks, or straws with pulp or infant formula.

Product can be sterilised as per enclosed guidelines. Separate all parts and clean thoroughly before placing in a steriliser. UV sterilisation may cause discolouration over time; check parts regularly for cracks and replace if needed. Follow manufacturer instructions and don’t exceed thermal limits. Wait 15 minutes between cycles.
