About 29,000 Baby Brezza Sterilizer Dryers Recalled Over Overheating and Burn Hazard

Federal safety regulators say about 29,000 Baby Brezza sterilizer dryers are being recalled because the machines can overheat while they run, posing a burn hazard to anyone who touches the hot surface. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission posted the recall on November 5, saying the plastic housing on some units has melted.

The company has received 32 reports of the sterilizer dryers overheating or the plastic housing melting, according to the commission. No injuries have been reported.

Which machines are covered

The recall covers the Baby Brezza SuperFast Sterilizer Dryer, a countertop appliance with a push-button control that sterilizes and dries baby bottles, breast pump parts and accessories in ten minutes. The covered model numbers are BRZ0083, BRZ0154 and BRZ0156. The model number is printed on the product label on the bottom of the unit.

The machines were sold at TJ Maxx and Marshalls stores across the country and online at babybrezza.com, target.com and babylist.com from January 2024 through October 2026. They cost between $160 and $180. About 4,500 more units were sold in Canada, where the recall was issued jointly with Health Canada.

Baby Brezza Enterprises LLC, of Newark, New Jersey, is the importer. The machines were made in China. The recall number is 27-072.

What owners should do

Regulators say consumers should stop using the recalled sterilizer dryers immediately and contact Baby Brezza Enterprises for a free replacement sterilizer dryer, with shipping at no cost.

To get the replacement, owners register on the company recall page at babybrezza.com, complete the recall form, unplug the product and cut the power cord to destroy the machine. They then send photos of the model number on the label, the destroyed appliance and the return authorization number to [email protected]. After that, owners should dispose of the recalled machine under local and state rules.

Owners can also call Baby Brezza toll free at 888-527-9824 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Eastern, Monday through Friday, or use the Product Safety Recall link at the bottom of babybrezza.com.

Why the remedy asks owners to cut the cord

The cut cord step is the proof that a recalled machine is out of service. A sterilizer dryer sits on a kitchen counter and gets used every day, often several times a day, so a recall notice alone is easy to miss or set aside. Regulators use the photo and cord steps in fast track recalls to make sure the faulty units are destroyed rather than resold, given away or kept in use by a second family.

The hazard in this case is heat where it should not be. A machine that overheats during a normal ten minute cycle can burn a hand that steadies it or lifts the lid, and melted housing is a sign the fault has already damaged the unit. No injuries have been reported so far, and the commission says the replacement removes the risk entirely.
