Montebello, California-based Infanttech has recalled about 17,100 units of Zooby video baby monitors for cars citing fire risk, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission said.
The recall involves Zooby video baby monitors for cars housed in a plush animal toy including a giraffe, dog, fox, rabbit and panda. The recalled Zoobys have battery model number HJ554050 batch 2136.
The products, manufactured in China, were sold online at infanttech.com and Amazon.com from January 2022 through May 2023 for between $130 and $190.
According to the agency, the baby monitor's battery can malfunction, overheat and burst, posing a fire hazard.
The recall was initiated after the firm received three reports of the baby monitors catching fire. However, no injuries have been reported to date.
Consumers are asked to immediately remove the battery from the plush camera and contact Infanttech for a free replacement battery. They can continue using the zooby plush camera and monitor plugged in.
In similar recalls citing fire risks, Research Products this week recalled about 40,000 steam humidifiers.
Ashley Furniture Industries recently called back Party Time collection loveseats, sofas and recliners due to the risk of catching fire. The recall included about 253,000 units sold in the US, with an addition of about 9,450 sold in Canada.
