I'm thinking maybe liability is more likely the issue. Perhaps Medela got
wind of a law suit or their risk management folks are like ours, lol...When
we first started renting/selling breast pumps our lawyers were concerned
that someone might drop one in the bathtub and electrocute themselves! they
wanted to make sure that the fine print covered that possibility.

Hello all,
If Medela was really concerned about liability, it would seem helpful if
they focused on making their personal use pumps closed systems, and prevent
black mold from growing in the motors even if they are well cleaned. The
new instructions sound like a way to shift blame from a design flaw they have
been made well aware of, that other companies don't have, to the already
hard-working pumping moms themselves.
Peace,
Judy
