Parents Urgent Warning of Shock Risk After 1 Million Kids’ Gadgets Sold at Target, Walmart, Nordstrom, BestBuy, Amazon Recall

Nearly one million children’s technology products have been recalled because they pose an electric shock risk.

On Wednesday, Hatch Baby recalled its Rest 1st Generation sound devices, which produce white noise to help babies fall asleep.

The plastic cover on the power supply in the machines was found to be loose, leaving the metal pins exposed, meaning people, including children, could receive an electric shock.

The company is aware of 19 cases of plastic falling off the adapter and two cases in which the user suffered a “minor electric shock.”

The company said in its recall notice that affected machines sold in the U.S. and Canada should be discontinued immediately.

“Consumers should unplug the cord, cut the cord of the recalled power supply, take a photo of the power supply that shows the model number and the cut cord,” the notice reads.

Hatch Baby is contacting registered owners directly, but consumers can check if their devices are affected by the recall by checking the model number.

The affected machines have the model number: CYAP05 050100U.

The model number, current rating (“1.0A”), “Jiangsu Chenyang Electron Co. LTD”, and “Made in China” are also printed in black near the power supply pins.

Consumers will receive a replacement product by submitting photos of the recalled product to the Hatch website.

The devices were sold directly by Hatch, but also by Amazon, Target, Walmart, Nordstrom, Pottery Barn Kids and BestBuy from January 2019 to September 2022.

The price of the product ranged from $60 to $200, depending on the model and place of purchase.

Last month, Costco was forced to recall 567,000 portable chargers from stores across America.

There were 120 cases of equipment overheating during operation, including two very serious cases that resulted in a house fire.
