Baby Brezza Class Action Says Formula Mixer Is Faulty

A class action lawsuit claims that Baby Brezza Formula Pro and Formula Pro Advanced baby formula mixers are defective.

Plaintiff Jon Borgese alleges that the machine mixes less formula than what is required and as a result his child has received poor nutrition in the form of watered down formula, leading to complications and injuries.

The plaintiff also asserts that the formula mixing machines are falsely marketed as automatically mixing the “perfect” amount of baby formula and water.

Borgese says he purchased a Baby Brezza from Buy Buy Baby for $199.99 on Nov. 1, 2019. He claims that, within a few weeks, he noticed that his daughter was not receiving enough nutrition from the formula that was being mixed by the machine.

Borgese argues in his class action lawsuit that his daughter has lost weight while being given formula from the Baby Brezza machines and, due to the defect, has required medical visits.

As a result of the defect in the baby formula mixer machines, the plaintiff says that his child, and other children, have been fed watered down formula with excess amounts of water, which has resulted in physical and mental complications, injuries, and medical expenses.

“These machines routinely mix less formula than required and needed for proper nutritional value,” the Baby Brezza class action lawsuit claims.

The plaintiff says Baby Brezza is aware of these complaints by consumers but has continued to manufacture a defective product. In addition, the Baby Brezza class action asserts that the company has failed to notify consumers about the numerous complaints and has not taken the necessary steps to fix the issue.

“The products had potential risks that were known or knowable in light of the knowledge that was generally accepted in the scientific and medical community at the time of the manufacture, distribution, or sale of the products and in light of reports received and suppressed by Defendants,” the Baby Brezza class action lawsuit alleges.

The plaintiff also states that the defendant failed to warn the plaintiff and potential Class Members as well as their physicians about the serious risk of using the machines. 

“Rather than disclose the truth about the dangers of its products, the Defendants continued to market and sell the products,” the Baby Brezza class action lawsuit argues.

The plaintiff claims that the concealment of information and lack of warnings to consumers were factors in causing the harm to the plaintiff and other potential Class Members. If the defendants provided appropriate warnings about the machines, the plaintiff says that he would have never bought or used the products.

“A reasonable person would conclude that the utility of using these automatic formula mixing machines did not outweigh the risk of poor nutrition resulting from watered down formula fed to children, and that the machines should not have been marketed in this condition,” the plaintiff states.
