VOLUNTARY RECALL – CERTAIN CAPS SOLD WITH THE PODIUM BOTTLE AND PEAK FITNESS BOTTLES

CamelBak Products LLC is recalling certain caps across three dates codes that were sold with the CamelBak Podium and Peak Fitness water bottles.  This is because there have been a small number of reports that a small silicone valve in the affected caps could release. If the silicone valve releases it could pose a choking hazard. In the interests of consumer safety and out of an abundance of caution, CamelBak gave notice of its voluntary recall of the affected caps to the ACCC.  The voluntary recall relates to the three batches of the caps sold with the CamelBak Podium and Peak Fitness water bottles.  

We value our customers safety and are committed to full transparency, which is the reason we elected to voluntarily report this to the ACCC and recall the caps.

The recall notice as advertised by the ACCC can also be found here:

 Please follow the steps set out below.

 STEP 1: CHECK YOUR CAP FOR THE DATE CODE

If your cap does not have one of the three listed date codes below or if your cap does not have a date code at all then your cap is not subject to the recall and you can continue to enjoy your product.  

The three impact date codes are:

• H19039
• H19063

To find the code, simply unscrew the cap from the bottle and turn the cap upside down. You should then find a code that is raised and in small print starting with “H” and 5 numbers.  See below for an example of the location of the date code. 

 If you have a cap with one of the listed date codes, please immediately discontinue using the cap and proceed to step 2 below.

Q:I don’t have a cap with the date code mentioned in the recall but I have real concerns that it can also happen to me. 

CamelBak take consumer safety very seriously.  We have been assured by CamelBak that they have inspected a range of Podium caps for valve assembly defect.
