In case of regular use, some light scratching is normal and does not
cause problems. However, if a part of the breast pump becomes
badly scratched or cracks, stop using the breast pump and contact the
Philips Consumer Care Center or visit www.philips.com/parts-and-

detergents as these can damage the plastic.
You can still use the breast pump. For replacement parts, please
