ORLANDO, FL — The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission is warning parents to stop using a countertop baby bottle and breast pump parts sterilizer and dryer because it can overheat and cause burns. The recall covers about 29,000 SuperFast Sterilizer Dryer units sold under model numbers BRZ0083, BRZ0154 and BRZ0156.
Baby Brezza Enterprises issued the recall after receiving 32 reports that the dryers overheated or that the plastic housing melted. No injuries have been reported, according to the CPSC. The model number appears on the product label on the bottom of the unit.
Where the recalled sterilizers were sold and how much they cost
The affected units were sold at TJ Maxx and Marshall’s stores nationwide, as well as online at babybrezza.com, target.com and babylist.com. Sales ran from January 2024 through October of this year.
The devices were priced between $160 and $180. They are designed to sterilize and dry baby bottles, breast pump parts and accessories, which makes the recall especially important for families using them daily.
Consumers should check the label on the bottom of the product to see whether their machine matches one of the recalled model numbers. The CPSC says the recall applies only to the listed SuperFast Sterilizer Dryer units.
What the overheating problem means for families using the device
The reported problem involves overheating and melted plastic housing, both of which can create a burn risk for users nearby. The warning focuses on stopping use right away rather than waiting for the unit to show visible damage.
Because the products are used around infant feeding supplies, the safety concern goes beyond the machine itself and includes the items families place inside it. The CPSC’s notice is intended to help owners identify the recalled dryers before another overheating incident occurs.
Baby Brezza Enterprises has not reported injuries, but the number of complaints prompted a formal recall. The agency’s message is clear: even without a reported injury, a product that overheats can still be dangerous enough to remove from use.
How to get a free replacement sterilizer dryer
Owners with a recalled unit are being told to stop using it immediately and contact Baby Brezza Enterprises for a free replacement sterilizer dryer. Shipping for the replacement will be provided at no cost to the customer.
To begin the process, customers must register online at babybrezza.com and complete a recall form. They are then instructed to unplug the unit, cut the power cord to destroy it and upload photos as part of the claim.
The company says customers can also call 888-527-9824 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday or email [email protected] for help.
How to find the model number on the recalled units
The recall covers model numbers BRZ0083, BRZ0154 and BRZ0156. Baby Brezza and the CPSC say the model number is printed on the product label located on the bottom of the unit.
That labeling detail is important for parents who may have stored the device among other kitchen or nursery items. A quick check underneath the dryer can confirm whether it is part of the recall.
Anyone who finds one of the affected models should not continue using it while waiting for a replacement. The warning applies whether the unit has already shown signs of trouble or not.
What the CPSC warning says about the risk
The CPSC says the sterilizer dryer may overheat and cause burns, which is why it is urging customers to remove the product from service immediately. The agency’s notice centers on prevention, especially for households with babies and breast-pumping equipment.
Baby Brezza Enterprises has already logged dozens of overheating and melting reports. That history, combined with the nationwide retail footprint, made the recall broad enough to reach customers who bought the product in stores and online.
Consumers seeking more details can use the company’s recall page, along with the phone number and email address provided in the recall notice. The agency says replacement units will be sent after the required registration and destruction steps are completed.
How the CPSC recall process works for affected owners
Once a customer confirms the model number and signs up through Baby Brezza’s recall page, the company will process the replacement request. The instructions require proof that the recalled unit has been taken out of service.
That means unplugging the sterilizer, cutting the cord and submitting photos through the online form. The company says the replacement sterilizer dryer and shipping are both free.
For families relying on the device for infant feeding equipment, the recall asks them to switch to a different sterilizing method until the replacement arrives. The CPSC says the safest step is to stop using the recalled unit right away.
