To add to the comments of a number of Lactnetters who posted on inadequacies 
regarding the Medela Freestyle pump, I've recently been told of faulty 
manual Avent Isis pumps being returned to pharmacies for replacement. Not 
just one or two, but a cluster. This would mean there are probably other 
buyers who just assume their breasts are at fault and not the pump, and 
don't take it back. I'm talking about brand new pumps, but second-hand ones 
from friends or online.

I'm wondering if this is just one factory with poor quality control, or a 
general pattern in other localities. It is some time since I've seen a 
mother with this particular brand as the mothers I'm seeing are using 
different brands (if they happen to have a pump).  Comments?
