Customers are dissatisfied with the leakage of the light bulb. They mention that the seal leaks, so whatever liquids they draw in will slowly drip out.

It wouldn't hold enough of seal to use with pancake batter and would leak where the rubber hits the plastic.

Turkey basters should be a fairly developed technology by now. Surprising so many of them have problems.
The last one I bought had a "beak" made of two pieces of hard plastic, barely glued together. It split soon after the first few uses. Broth would leak out and dribble down the sides. Tape didn't help. In fact, I think it hurt. I think the Scotch adhesive got into the turkey broth. The turkey itself turned plaid, if that's any indication.
But that's not the case with this one. This one is made of some sort of sturdy, spun nylon. It appears to be either very well-bonded, or perhaps it really is just one piece. I tell you, if I were making a turkey baster, I would form the beak (I keep calling it a "beak." There probably is some official word for it. I'm too lazy to look it up. "Nozzle" sounds wrong. If there's a specialist in turkey basters out there -- someone in the industry, maybe -- please chime in) out of a single piece of Lexan, or perhaps food-grade polyester. I am sure there are many heat-resistant polymers that could be used to form that cylinder in one piece, complete with the constriction at the tip to form the jet. In fact, the Department of Defense or DARPA probably has something that weighs no more than titanium, is transparent, and invisible to radar.
That brings us to a discussion of the bulb. The bulb is nice, but it feels a little anemic. I mean, I have large hands. I'm a large person. I used to run jackhammers for the town of Winslow, Arizona. Perhaps you've heard of Winslow. Yes, it's the same Winslow immortalized in that Eagles song. For a while I was standing on corner in Winslow, Arizona, and I had a 90lb pneumatic jackhammer in these large hands which now find the bulb of this turkey baster to be somewhat fey. It's usable, don't get me wrong. I just doubt its ability to draw back the thick juices that might run off a plaid turkey once contaminated with Scotch tape adhesive. What I would suggest as a replacement would be something made of the material used for CV boots on front-wheel-drive cars. That material is not only oil- and heat-resistant, it is also proven to maintain flexibility over a wide range of temperatures. They are available at auto parts stores everywhere. I just might try a bit of a turkey baster "hack" by substituting a bulb made out of a CV joint boot for a Chevy Cavalier. And some hose clamps.
Balance is good. I felt no tipping sensation as I loaded this baster with a full load of hot, tasty broth. I'm getting hungry now, but I want to tell you that if user safety the prime concern, this is the baster for you. I can't imagine this device proving a hazard due to the imbalance conditions seen in those experimental mega-basters from the last days of the Soviet Union. The Soviets, though wily in many ways, made the mistake of using cast iron for their bulb material. I hear the NOVOSK 7 model turkey baster required six political dissidents just to lift to the edge of the the pot. Many laborers disappeared and were marked merely as "missing" on reports from the gulag. Such is life under socialism.
Anyway, I would recommend this turkey baster to anyone seeking a safe, well-balanced, durable basting experience.
The picture looked like a Foley baster which are wonderful and was the search term I used. I have to take a little responsibility for not doubting the authenticity of the search. Amazon does in effect promote fooling folks with their misleading results.
