Baby Brezza is recalling about 29,000 SuperFast Sterilizer Dryers after reports that the countertop units can overheat while plugged in, and in some cases melt their plastic casings. The company has logged 32 such reports, and no injuries have been linked to the product so far. Parents and caregivers who own one should stop using it right away.
Which units are affected
The recall covers Baby Brezza SuperFast Sterilizer Dryers with model numbers BRZ0083, BRZ0154, and BRZ0156, sold in two colors. The model number appears on a label on the bottom of the unit, so owners can check it without opening the appliance. The units were sold from January 2024 through October 2026 for roughly $160 to $180 at babybrezza.com, babylist.com, and target.com, and at TJ Maxx and Marshalls stores nationwide.
What the company and regulators are asking owners to do
Baby Brezza says owners should stop using the sterilizer even if it still appears to work normally. Unplug it and keep it away from flammable materials. To get a free replacement, register the product on the company's website and upload a photo of the unit; a receipt is not required. The Consumer Product Safety Commission recommends cutting the power cord before discarding the unit, and owners should follow local disposal rules.
Why it matters for everyday households
The appliance is used to sterilize and dry baby bottles, breast pump parts, and other feeding accessories in about 10 minutes, which makes it a routine fixture in many homes with infants. Because the defect involves heat and melting plastic, the risk extends beyond the appliance itself to surrounding counters and nearby objects. Owners who have already noticed warping, discoloration, or an unusual smell should treat the unit as a priority for replacement.
