Hatch Baby Recalls 1 Million Power Adaptors Sold with Sound Machines Due to Electrical Shock Hazard

A popular sleep device brand used by parents is recalling nearly 1 million power adaptors due to a potential electrical safety risk.

On Wednesday, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission posted a hazard notice about Hatch Baby's power adaptors sold with its Rest 1st Generation sound machines. According to the official recall, the adaptors' plastic housing can detach when the equipment is removed from a power outlet. This leaves the power prongs exposed and poses a shock hazard.

Hatch has sold over 919,000 of the now-recalled adaptors across the United States and over 44,000 in Canada.

The hazard notice also states that the products were available for purchase with certain Rest 1st Generation sound machines from January 2019 through September 2022.

The Rest 1st Generation's accompanying adaptors were stocked by several vendors nationwide, including big retailers like Target, Walmart, Nordstrom, Pottery Barn Kids and Best Buy. Customers could also buy the power adaptors on Amazon.com and on the brand's official website Hatch.co .

Per the recall notice, the Palo Alto-based company has received 19 reports of the issue. Two reports included consumers experiencing a minor electrical shock.

Hatch also issued a statement on its website about the voluntary recall. The announcement emphasizes that "recall is specific to the power adapter only, and does not impact the device. Once a replacement power adapter is issued, the Hatch Rest 1st generation device is safe to continue using."

The retailer advises consumers to stop using the power adaptors with the Rest 1st Generation sound machines and contact the company for a free replacement.
