Plain-English summary
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and Advance Thermo Control (ATC) are recalling Prince Lionheart Baby Wipe Warmers. The recall involves units with style number 0224 and date codes between 9803 and 9901. These white plastic appliances, measuring 9 inches long, 6 inches wide, and 4.75 inches high, were sold nationwide from February 1998 through December 1999 for about $25. Approximately 152,000 units were distributed through toy, department, and baby specialty stores, including Toys "R" Us and Burlington Coat Factory, as well as mail order catalogs.
The hazard exists because cracks in the interior tub of these wipe warmers can allow water to contact the electrical components. This condition can result in consumers receiving an electric shock. Prince Lionheart has received four reports of electric shocks when consumers touched the wipes in warmers with cracked tubs.
Consumers should immediately unplug the warmers, remove the wipes, and check to see if the interior tub is cracked. If the tub is cracked, consumers should stop using the warmer immediately and call ATC for information on receiving a free replacement unit. If the tub is not cracked, the unit is not part of the recall, and consumers can continue to use the appliance. For more information, consumers can email ATC at [email protected].
