Brita is recalling Dora the Explorer, Hello Kitty, Spongebob Squarepants, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle hard-sided water filter bottle for kids due to a laceration hazard.
From the Consumer Product Safety Commission:
The four recalled children’s water bottles have popular cartoon characters on a hard-sided plastic bottle. Characters and bottle colors include Dora the Explorer®, violet; Hello Kitty®, pink; SpongeBob Square Pants®, blue; and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles®, green. The bottles stand 6 inches tall, hold 15 ounces of liquid, have white lids that screw off and have fold-up straws and filters that sit inside the straw below the lid. Each bottle bears a Brita logo and features the image of a popular children’s cartoon character. The removable plastic wrap on the bottle at time of purchase has the model number BB07 and the following UPC codes: 60258-35883 on the Dora the Explorer, 60258-35914 on the Hello Kitty, 60258-35880 on the SpongeBob Square Pants and 60258-35882 on the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

I don’t have one of these products, but I did find the contact information: Brita’s phone number is 1-800-24-BRITA (1-800-242-7482) or email them via this link. Looks like the current solution is they’ll refund your money.
