I'm really disappointed in the company, especially because I exclusively bought their purees to feed to LO because I trusted the brand. Thanks everyone. </p> <p>@Kemma: My LO is 9 months and I started feeding her formula a couple of months ago. If she were a newborn and this had happened, I would really be freaking out! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gross-hair-in-the-formula-container-what-would-you-do#post-608522 Sat, 02 Mar 2013 18:49:16 +0000 Kemma 608522@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not sure what age your LO is, but that's a pretty big process failure especially if it's a formula designed for newborns or infants! I'd definitely call or email the company so they can at least look into it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gross-hair-in-the-formula-container-what-would-you-do#post-608513 Sat, 02 Mar 2013 18:43:57 +0000 chopsuey 608513@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would definitely call. They should do something regardless of whether you have the specimens </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gross-hair-in-the-formula-container-what-would-you-do#post-608506 Sat, 02 Mar 2013 18:40:04 +0000 Dandelion 608506@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Totally call!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gross-hair-in-the-formula-container-what-would-you-do#post-608503 Sat, 02 Mar 2013 18:35:11 +0000 anbanan15 608503@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@betsyboop: it's okay. Contact them anyway. Finding a hair is serious, IMO. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gross-hair-in-the-formula-container-what-would-you-do#post-608502 Sat, 02 Mar 2013 18:35:05 +0000 photojane 608502@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd definitely call or email! They should reimburse you for that can at least. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gross-hair-in-the-formula-container-what-would-you-do#post-608501 Sat, 02 Mar 2013 18:35:03 +0000 Bao 608501@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yuck! I would call and see if they will help you out. Most companies stand behind their product and they should make it right with you. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gross-hair-in-the-formula-container-what-would-you-do#post-608498 Sat, 02 Mar 2013 18:31:48 +0000 betsyboop 608498@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@anbanan15: Shoot, I already threw both specimens away : ( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gross-hair-in-the-formula-container-what-would-you-do#post-608497 Sat, 02 Mar 2013 18:30:47 +0000 anbanan15 608497@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Take pictures, call (or email with attached photos) thcompanyny and after you hear back from them depending on if the ask for the can or not, return it to the store.</p> <p>ETA: We didn't us formula, but I did find straight pins in cloth diapers from a manufacture that claimed to be pin free. Had I not doubled checked the diapers prior to use they would have gone into LO's thigh! I took pictures and emailed the company. They apologized and sent free diapers. One of the things my LO has taught me is to not be afraid to contact a company. They are usually more then willing to resolve any issues! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gross-hair-in-the-formula-container-what-would-you-do#post-608495 Sat, 02 Mar 2013 18:28:48 +0000 betsyboop 608495@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This morning I opened up a new tub of formula (Earth's Best). When I was scooping the formula out, I saw a 1 cm black hair sticking out of the powder, and I know it wasn't mine! To be totally honest, I just picked it out and threw that scoop away. </p> <p>This afternoon I was scooping more formula, and there was a long white-ish piece of lint or something resembling lint (probably 1 1/2 inches) sticking out of the powder, and again I'm sure it didn't come from me. WTH? Should I contact the company and let them know? Has anyone else experienced something similar with any formula? </p>
