Water bottle melted / warped in dishwasher. Am worried about fumes and chemical leakage, have the windows open and want to re- wash everything. DH thinks I'm ridiculous and is gone off in a huff.
AIBU?

For her peace of mind, to clear any gases released, to clean off any residues

Gases released? None.

Utter bollocks. No gases released and no residues.

It was a plastic bottle, not a nuclear weapon!

I normally washed the baby's bottles in the dishwasher. I had a special basket for the top rack that held the teats and bottle rings. I remember buying that in Mothercare. Never an issue.

You are worrying unnecessarily and way overthinking things. It's just a warped and distorted bottle. Absolutely no harm done and no need whatsoever to rewash anything.

I assume these bottles you bought never warped/melted in the dishwasher?

I think people saying op is anxious/mental, including her husband are quite arrogant and stupid. Plastic can leech when heated so it’s a good idea to be cautious.

What would you suggest then?

I'd suggest she doesn't wash anything plastic in the dishwasher unless it's labelled as being dishwashable. That's more for the benefit of the item but best not put stuff in there that isn't meant to go in it.

No, they didn't. I did say that there were no issues in my post. Did you not read it?

There aren't any gases
