CPSC, Safety 1st Announce Recall of Nursery Monitor
Batteries
WASHINGTON, D.C. - In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer
Product Safety Commission (CPSC), Safety 1st of Chestnut
Hill, Mass., is recalling about 25,000 batteries sold with
their nursery monitors. The dry cell battery can rupture and
irritate the skin.
Safety 1st has received 76 reports of batteries
rupturing. One consumer reported discomfort and swelling
when the battery ruptured in her hand.
The batteries are sold with the model 49226 Safety 1st
nursery monitor. The monitor comes with a parent's unit
(receiver) with charging stand, baby's unit (transmitter),
AC adaptor and battery. The receiver holds the battery and
displays the date codes for the units involved. These units
have date codes between 00097 and 03097 imprinted on a white
sticker on the back of the receivers. The monitor is made of
hard white and gray plastic and both the receiver and
transmitter are labeled "Safety 1st" and come with flexible
antennas.
The monitors are packaged in a cardboard display box
labeled in part, "Safety 1st...Rechargeable
Monitor...Cordless...Model No. 49226."
Retail stores nationwide sold the monitors from June
1997 through August 1997 for between $35 and $45.
Consumers should stop using the monitors immediately,
and call Safety 1st at (800) 964-8489 between 9 a.m. and 5
p.m. EST Monday through Friday for instructions on
returning the recalled batteries and receiving replacement
batteries.
This recall does not involve model 226 or model 49226A
Safety 1st nursery monitors.
