Plain-English summary

Skip Hop is recalling its Moonlight & Melodies owl and elephant nightlight soothers. The recall involves approximately 130,000 units sold in the United States and about 21,500 units sold in Canada. These products play melodies or nature sounds and project images. The owl soothers are white and gray and measure about 5.5 by 4.5 by 6 inches, while the white elephant soother measures about 7 x 4.2 x 5.7 inches. Both models feature a sound speaker on each side, operation buttons at the top or back, and the Skip Hop logo on the underside.

The recall is being issued because the soother's USB wall power adapter can break, which poses an electrical shock hazard. Skip Hop is aware of incidents where the power adapter broke, including one incident that resulted in an electrical shock.

The affected soothers were sold at Babies R Us, Buy Buy Baby, Target, and other retailers nationwide, as well as online at Skiphop.com and Amazon.com, from July 2016 through August 2017 for approximately $40. Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled nightlight soothers and contact Skip Hop for instructions on returning the USB wall power adapter with a prepaid shipping label to receive a free repair kit, which includes a free USB wall adapter.
