Is it safe to use discoloured Philips Avent product parts?
Published on 23 August 2024
Yes, using discoloured Philips Avent products is safe, provided that the parts are clean and in good condition. Discolouration is harmless and is often the result of foods staining the plastic.
How do I know if my product parts are discoloured?
Philips Avent parts are discoloured if they appear tinted yellow, red or any colour other than their original plastic, and this colour does not go away after cleaning.
What causes discolouration?
Discolouration usually happens when Philips Avent parts are exposed to food containing dyes or colourings that stain plastic, like tomato sauce and certain green vegetables.
To avoid discolouration, keep parts separate from food, containers and other objects containing food residue during cleaning, disinfection and storage.
Discolouration is also caused by exposure to leftover residue from previous washing/cleaning sessions, specific cleaning agents, direct sunlight and calcium build-up from washing the parts in hard water.
Please follow your Philips Avent product's recommended cleaning, disinfection and storage instructions to avoid discolouration.
