  "question": "Which breast pumps have checked safety notes about pregnancy or pain that a shopper should review before buying?",
  "answer": "No checked fact gives a pregnancy warning. Medela Swing®: Two forum participants reported that the breast shield became yellow and wrinkled after boiling; one also experienced increasing discomfort and milk leaking around the side. Medela Harmony® Breast Pump with PersonalFit Flex™: The shield rim felt soft, smooth and flexible and sealed comfortably, but the handle was less hand-friendly, could become uncomfortable and its unintended rotation was annoying during longer sessions. Medela Symphony PLUS®: The manual lists no known contraindications for the Symphony pump and pump sets.",
