Hatch Recalls Over Nearly 1 Million Power Adapters Sold with Baby Sound Machines
NEW YORK (NEWSnet/AP) — A California company is recalling nearly 1 million baby sound machine power adapters due to a shock hazard, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission said.
The plastic surrounding the AC power adapter that was supplied with some of Hatch’s Baby Rest 1st generation sound machines can come off when removing the product from an outlet, leaving its prongs exposed and potentially shocking customers, the commission said.
There have been 19 reports of the plastic housing surrounding the adapter coming off, including two instances of consumers getting a minor electric shock, the CPSC said in its Wednesday recall notice.
The recall is specific to power adapters supplied by Jiangsu Chenyang Electron Co., Hatch said in a company announcement, adding that it is no longer sourcing from Jiangsu Chenyang for its products.
Palo Alto, California-based Hatch also noted that the issue is only with the adapter accompanying the sleeping machines, not the device itself.
Consumers in possession of the faulty power adapters are urged to stop using them. The now-recalled adapters, which were manufactured in China, can be identified by their model number: CYAP05 050100U.
The adapters were sold with Rest 1st generation sound machines on Hatch.co, as well as major retailers including Target and Walmart, between January 2019 and September 2022. Some were also sold on Amazon through May 2024.
Hatch is offering a free replacement adapter to impacted customers and says it’s contacting all registered owners directly.
Consumers can learn more about registering for the recall on the company’s website.
