Nearly one million baby tech products have been recalled due to a risk of electric shock.
Hatch Baby on Wednesday recalled its Rest 1st Generation sound machine, which emits white noise to soothe babies to sleep.
The plastic surrounding the machine’s power adapter was found to be loose, exposing metal protrusions, meaning anyone who touched it, including babies, could receive an electric shock.
The company is aware of 19 incidents of plastic coming off the adapters and two incidents of consumers receiving “minor electric shocks.”
In its recall notice, the company said people should immediately stop using affected machines sold in the United States and Canada.
The Hatch Baby Rest 1st Generation machine emits white noise to lull your baby to sleep.
It turned out the plastic surrounding the machine’s power adapter had come loose.
“Consumers should unplug and disconnect the cords of the recalled power adapters and take a photo of the adapter showing the model number and the disconnected cord,” the notice urges.
Hatch Baby is contacting registered owners directly, but consumers can check if their device is part of the recall by checking the model number.
The defective machine has model number CYAP05 050100U.
The model number, amperage (“1.0A”), “Jiangsu Chenyang Electron Co. LTD”, and “Made in China” are also printed in black near the power adapter’s terminals.
Consumers can submit photos of the recalled products to Hatch’s website and will be offered replacements.
The devices were sold directly by Hatch from January 2019 to September 2022, as well as at Amazon, Target, Walmart, Nordstrom, Pottery Barn Kids, and Best Buy.
Prices for the products ranged from $60 to $200 depending on the exact model and where you purchased it.
Last month, Costco was forced to recall 567,000 portable chargers from stores across the US.
There have been 120 reports of the devices overheating during use, including two very serious cases of them causing house fires.
