I am a mother of two who looked into purchasing a used pump for my second child. Upon reading about potential health risks to my child, I was appaled to see that the sell of these items on eBay is allowed. It\'s my opinion that many mothers may be totally unaware of such risks when deciding to buy a previously owned breastpump. If eBay restricts the sell of used cosmetics and worn underwear because of hygienic reasons, why not breastpumps
