Saudi Arabia's Ministry of Commerce announced a recall of 22 units of the 8oz Nursh reusable baby bottle (Product No. B11654) after warning that parts of the outer protective layer could peel or detach, creating small loose pieces that could pose a choking hazard to infants. Khaleej Times visited a range of supermarkets and pharmacies across Dubai to verify whether the recalled product was available locally.
The investigation covered major retail chains, and Warwick Gird, general manager for marketing and e‑commerce at Spinneys, confirmed the chain does not carry the product. "We do not stock the below range of products," he told the newspaper. Spinneys, a leading supermarket operator with outlets throughout Dubai, reiterated that its inventory does not include the Nursh bottle, underscoring that the recall does not affect its shelves.
We do not stock the below range of products.

Al Madina supermarkets, another prominent local retailer, offered the same reassurance. Arun Thottyan from the marketing, communications and e‑commerce team said, "We do not have this product at our supermarket." This statement aligns with the broader finding that the Nursh brand is absent from the UAE's primary grocery outlets.
We do not have this product at our supermarket.

Night to Night convenience stores also reported never having stocked the Nursh brand, noting that they carry other baby feeding bottle options but not this specific line. Likewise, several pharmacies in Dubai's Deira district confirmed they stock feeding bottles from other manufacturers but have no Nursh bottles on their shelves.
To ensure the recall's reach is fully understood, Khaleej Times reached out to an e‑commerce platform to determine whether the recalled bottles have ever been listed online for UAE customers. At the time of publication, a response was still awaited, indicating the investigation is ongoing.
Parents who may have purchased the bottle while travelling or through international online marketplaces are advised to check the product number carefully. If the bottle matches the recalled batch (Product No. B11654), they should stop using it immediately and contact the manufacturer for a replacement or refund.
