Is this bottle defective?

Way2GO:

Based on wat has been said thus far,

If I were u, I wld firstly get d sterilizer checked n serviced if faulty, n get d damaged bottle exchanged if possible.
If problem recurs, pls update here.

Updating on this:
The service centre of Philips Avent was shocked to hear what had happened to my Avent bottle. They offered to exchange both my bottles (since I bought a box of 2 bottles) with no questions asked. Didn't ask for receipt. They also wanted to test my steam sterilizer and look at my deformed bottle, which by the way, went back to its ORIGINAL shape after a few days :roll:

After a week, they called back and said nothing is wrong with my sterilizer. Despite testing it for a few days, the sterilizer didn't auto-switch on like I said it did during the initial period of my usage. :stupid: As a result, they will not exchange a new one for me.

Apparently, nothing was wrong with the bottle too. :skeptical:

They have chased me a couple of times to go and pick up the sterilizer. Guess will have to see if such strange incident happens again in future.

Used sterilising tablet.

Washed the bottles/teats, Medela funnel with baby bottle detergent every morn with brush...container to hold all these. After that dumped one tablet into water with bottles/teats. Before use each time, use Pigeon clamp to rinse with hot water. After that, wash bottle and dump into container.
Used this method for both my kids.

But wouldn't the sterilising tablet give out a smell?

Just feel that steaming is a naturally safer method and I had no such issues in the past. Until now.

I used this sterilising solution (from Australia) and subsequently tablets when I couldn't find the solution. After rinsing with hot water, no prob with smell.

Sorry can't remember the brand...I am outdated mum where bb stuff are concerned :oops: only remember getting several bottles of sterilizing solution at one go. Saw 2 brands of the tablets at kiddy palace though...rinse with hot water before use. That should be safe.

This is the Medela bottle with a slight dent after being sterilized.

Safe to use?
