Baby Brezza Enterprises Recalls SuperFast Sterilizer Dryers Due to Overheating and Burn Hazards

Reported by CPSC · November 5 at 12:00 AM · Summary by Wall & Wick

Baby Brezza Enterprises of Newark, New Jersey, is recalling about 29,000 SuperFast Sterilizer Dryers, with about 4,500 more sold in Canada. The countertop units, models BRZ0083, BRZ0154 and BRZ0156, can overheat when plugged in and running, and the firm has received 32 reports of overheating or melting plastic housing, though no injuries have been reported.

Background

A recall of this kind is usually issued after the Consumer Product Safety Commission or the manufacturer finds a defect that creates a risk of fire, burns or other injury. Recall remedies commonly include a free repair, replacement or refund, and the company typically requires that the defective product be destroyed or disposed of so it cannot be resold.

Why it matters

Bottle sterilizers and dryers are often kept on kitchen counters or nursery shelves, so an overheating unit can be a burn or fire risk in a room where families spend a lot of time.

What you can do

Check the model number on the label on the bottom of the unit, and if it matches, stop using it and contact Baby Brezza through the recall page or its listed phone line for a free replacement.
