The US Government is asking all parents in North Carolina to immediately stop using sound machines made by Hatch.
The machines were specifically sold at major retailers including Target and Walmart across our state. They are now being recalled due to an imminent electric shock risk to infants.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) recall affects 919,400 Rest 1st Generation machines sold in the US. These units were sold between January 2019 and September 2022 for $60-$70, and on Amazon until May 2024 for $60-$200.
“Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled power adapters sold with Rest 1st Generation sound machines, and contact Hatch for a free replacement power adapter,” stated a press release from the CPSC. “Consumers should unplug the cord, cut the cord on the recalled power adapter, take a photo of the adapter showing the model number and the cut cord, upload the photo, and provide their name and mailing address at www.hatch.co/adapterrecall.”
The issue involves AC power adapters with a plastic housing that can come off when unplugging, exposing the prongs and posing a shock risk. Recalled adapters have the model number CYAP05 050100U and “Made in China” printed in black near the prongs.
