CPSC, Advance Thermo Control Announce Recall of Baby Wipe Warmers
The hazard
Cracks in the interior tub of these wipe warmers can allow water to contact the electrical components. This can result in consumers receiving an electric shock.
Incidents reported: Prince Lionheart has received four reports of electric shocks when consumers touched the wipes in the warmers with cracked tubs.
What to do now
Consumers should immediately unplug the warmers, remove the wipes, and check to see if the interior tub is cracked. If so, stop using the warmer immediately, and call ATC for information on receiving a free replacement unit. If the tub of the wipe warmer is not cracked, the unit is not part of the recall, and consumers can continue to use the appliance.
