I purchased 3 Gerber 9-ounce bottles at Walmart, and they are supposed to be slow flowing. The contents come out in a stream. I'm not pleased with the product and have not got a receipt, as it was a baby shower gift .
The baby has been spitting it all back up and chokes. We have not used the bottles since.

I too was told that the Gerber Company was giving away savings bonds, this from my childrens doctor & again by the WIC office. Now tell me how doctors and WIC offices got incorrect information? And passed it along to unsuspecting parents. So someone scammed unsuspecting inpoverished parents out of private information, who only had the welfare of their children in mind. That is very mean and sick if you ask me. And when gerber found this out why was there not a rebuttal nor a federal investigation or investigation done? I do have the address and my request was returned when I inquired as to the where abouts of the savings bonds.

My wife found an apperently cooked maggot in the bowl of pasta pick ups we fed our son. This was over a week ago and we have not recieved the pre-paid postage to send it back yet. It seems to me the longer it sits in my fridge the worse the condition of the food. Now I wonder if I should send it back at all. Will I give up any rights legally?
I was and still am outraged that this happened and at the slow response to send out the return postage so this can be checked in their lab. How do they know there are not any other bowls of food out there with maggots in them?. It did not cause any illness to my son (thankfully) but it is a terrible thing to see in your child's food. We have not and will not use the product again.

I have spent a lot of money on Gerber baby bottles and nipples. After one or two uses the nipples start to squirt out the formula rapidly and causes my baby to get too much food and sometimes coughs from the rapid release of milk. These are slow flow nipples and cost 4-5 dollars for two of them. I am very mad about this and don't enjoy running around my kitchen trying to find a nipple that wont drown my baby in milk, while he is screaming his head off cause he is hungry. I wish i could find a decent brand of nipples for my baby, I guess I'll just keep looking, but they wont be getting any more of my money.

I went to pick my 9 month old daughter up from daycare and one of the teachers told me that there was a stick in the baby food jar. I later remembered that the night before I was feeding her from the same jar and she was choking and gaging on something I thought I might have fed her too much too fast and so I gave her a chance to try and cough it up herself but it seemed she was struggling so I yanked her out of her walker and put her over my knee trying to get her to spit it out and finally when I got it out of her throat I noticed it wasn't food. I was confused as to how she got it in her mouth. She didn't want any more after that so I gave her a bottle. I still have the jar of baby food. I am very upset at this especially now knowing what caused her to choke.

The plastic 4 oz. containers of Gerber fruit, with a plastic covering have a serious defect. The foil that is covering the food, when peeled back has a hard clear plastic residue that inadvertently comes off, most time, into the food when opening. It is VERY hard to spot, because the plastic is clear. Because I was aware of the problem I was able to catch a rather big piece of plastic in the food, right before the baby began eating.

I bought a jar of Gerber baby food maybe 4 days ago and I opened it to find mold all over it. I looked at the expiration date and it's not until September 2004. There is no reason why it should have been moldy. Baby food is expensive and I can not afford to buy something that is spoiled.
Rebekah of Nashville GA (10/17/03):
I was feeding my son a jar of prunes and when I pulled the spoon out I saw a hair in the spoon. I showed my brother, Jacob, then I threw it away. I didn't know whether to open another jar or not. I don't know whether to buy Gerber or not. It was pretty nasty.

I have a 5 1/2 month old baby and was feeding him from his Gerber baby food jar, he was about 1/4 done when I noticed that there was a dead spider in the food....The top did pop when I opened it so I know that it was not tampered with in any way.
It made me sick to see that my baby already ate from this jar of food. How do I know that he didn't already eat some of the insect ?
I called Gerber and they want me to send the jar so it can be analyzed by their lab..I am not to sure that they will admit there was anything wrong. Do I send it?
Also, their own operator stated that if it popped when I opened it, not to worry the spider had to be sterilized. What a comfort.
Tammy of Cincinnati (8/27/02):
Was feeding my baby when the glass of the jar broke out of the bottom. I contacted Gerber direct. They sent a company by the name of OA to come to my home to pick up the jar. My daughter was fine but what about next time? I took pictures of the broken jar and have a receipt from the man who picked it up.
Bree of Laguna Beach, CA, writes:
In response to a Gerber promotional offer I collected -via Gerber baby food purchases- then provided Gerber with several hundred product labels, family baby pictures and a check for $286.80 to get 'sketches' in the 'Gerber Baby' tradition made of my family from said photos thinking what a wonderful family gift they would make.
After much delay, I am in possession of 20 computer generated little nasties that have me so angry I could spit. To think they presented these as some sort of heirloom, is so offensive to me. And this promotion was designed to appeal to new parents, who can least afford the loss of time, money, and yes, faith.
I feel screwed by a company that I trusted to feed my baby! I am writing to these creeps, hoping for restitution, but I can't imagine that any company that would have entered into this sort of scam in the first place would give a damn a bout my opinion of the matter.
