Hatch Baby, a popular brand known for its smart baby monitors and sleep products, has issued a massive recall of power adapters for its “Rest” sound machines and white noise machines. The recall, affecting nearly 400,000 adapters sold between January 2017 and June 2023, comes after reports of the adapters overheating and posing a fire hazard.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) announced the recall, urging consumers to immediately stop using the affected adapters and contact Hatch Baby for a free replacement. The recalled adapters are identified by a black or white power cord with a white plug and the words “Hatch Baby” printed on the adapter.
“We are deeply committed to the safety of our customers and their families,” stated [Name], CEO of Hatch Baby in a press release. “We are working diligently to ensure all affected customers receive replacement adapters as quickly as possible.”
The recall is a significant event for Hatch Baby, as its sound machines and white noise devices are highly popular among parents. The company has received over 20 reports of the adapters overheating, including five reports of the adapters catching fire. Fortunately, no injuries have been reported to date.
The CPSC strongly advises consumers to immediately disconnect the recalled power adapters from the wall outlet and discontinue use of the sound machines until they receive the replacement adapter. The replacement adapters will feature a different design and are expected to be available within the next few weeks.
Here’s what consumers should do:
Identify: Check the power adapter of your Hatch Baby Rest or white noise machine. If it has a black or white power cord with a white plug and “Hatch Baby” printed on the adapter, it is subject to the recall.
Stop Using: Immediately disconnect the adapter from the wall outlet and stop using the sound machine.
Contact Hatch Baby: Visit [Website] or call [Phone Number] to register for a free replacement adapter.
Hatch Baby has committed to working closely with the CPSC to ensure the safety of its products and provide a swift and smooth replacement process for affected customers. The company urges all consumers to prioritize safety and take immediate action to ensure the recall is handled efficiently.
