IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT

Klean Kanteen Sports 2.0 cap
If you purchased a Klean Kanteen bottle with a Sports 2.0 cap (pictured right) before the end of May 2010 in Australia, this sports cap is subject to recall. If the top of your sports cap has a shiny surface, you have the old version which is being recalled. If the top has a matt finish, you have the new high impact version of the cap. Site sponsor Shop Naturally stopped selling the old shiny caps at the end of May 2010. Other retailers may not have been so quick to pull their stock. The Klean Kanteen giveaway on Shop Naturally in June 2010 will have the new Sports 2.0 cap as have all sales of Klean Kanteen bottles from June 2010 onwards.
We will now quote directly from the Klean Kanteen recall press release.
“We have been advised of a problem with the Sport Cap 2.0 that was sold with Klean Kanteen® water bottles. We are writing to you today to let you know that we are recalling and replacing the Sport Cap 2.0. Please note that it is only the Sport Cap 2.0 that is being recalled. The water bottle is not affected. Other caps sold with Klean Kanteen® bottles such as the loop, flat or sippy caps are not affected.
We have received seven reports in the United States that the spout tip of Sport Cap 2.0 is prone to breaking or cracking after being dropped. As the product is placed in the mouth, pieces could dislodge and present a choking or swallowing hazard. There have been no injuries in the United States and no reports of similar incidents in Australia. Nevertheless we are always focused on ensuring our products are as safe as possible and have decided that replacement is necessary.
Klean Kanteen® released a new High Impact Sport Cap 2.0 that is six times more resistant to breaking or cracking and we ask for your assistance in replacing the affected product. The new high impact Sport Cap was sold with Klean Kanteen bottles from May, 2010 and you can tell the difference by looking at the cap and label. The new cap has a dull/matte finish and the label had a small silver sticker attached.
If you have purchased bottles with the Sport Cap 2.0 please stop using the cap, remove the cap from the bottle and contact 1 800 102 806 (in Australia) as soon as possible to arrange a replacement at no charge.”
