I am including this even though it is a bit stale because I couldn’t find mention of it on our site. Worth knowing about.

And apparently it resulted in one death.

WOW!

Why did they make the retainer ring out of plastic?

Well that would be the $1,000,000 question isn’t it. Perhaps it is cheaper? Who knows.

Mine was replaced in November via the recall, and had a loose retainer ring at the time (though it hadn’t really affected the pump’s functionality yet aside from a couple of no delivery alarms I think were probably related)…

The replacement pumps also have plastic retainer rings, but they are now a solid color (the same color as the rest of the pump) and hopefully more durable.
