The product, in the report: Tommee Tippee’s Closer to Nature Electric Bottle and Food Warmer heats bottles and baby food quickly and safely in about 4 minutes. The warmer heats everything from breast milk to baby food while helping to preserve the nutrients that are vital to your baby’s healthy development. Just place the bottle or jar in the warmer and adjust the easy to use temperature dial.

On 5/31/17, my tommee tippee bottle warmer caught fire and destroyed my kitchen cabinets. I purchased the starter kit from Amazon in October 2014 and I didn’t have my daughter until January 2015. I breastfed my daughter for the first 9 months so I rarely used the bottle warmer. Typically we use the bottle warmer to warm my toddlers whole milk for breakfast and at bedtime. I left my home at 7:10 am to take my daughter to day care and the alarm company called me at 7:52 am to report the smoke detectors were going off. The alarm company dispatched the fire department who arrived at my home at approximately 8:03am and began to put out the fire. Fortunately the damage was contained to the cabinet and it could have been worse if my smoke detectors were not working. I filed a claim with my homeowners insurance so we can repair my kitchen and clean all the soot that is all over my home. With me being 8 months pregnant and having a toddler my family is staying in a hotel until the house is safe and clean for us to return. I definitely will not be buying tommee tippee products for this baby and I’m very disappointed and [angry]. After the fire I notice the fire recall and wonder why there wasn’t news coverage to alert parents of the recall.

The company’s comments, in its own words

(6/22/2017) MAYBORN USA INC: Mayborn Baby and Child is a responsible manufacturer of baby products and, as you would expect, child safety is at the heart of everything we do. All products are therefore designed and tested to US and European safety standards. We are committed to developing high quality products, and when the Company learned that the US electric bottle warmers were manufactured in a manner that is not in accordance with the design specifications we quickly worked with the CPSC on a voluntary recall (number 16-199). Simultaneously we also worked together with retailers on notifying consumers about the recall and consumers who wish to obtain replacements can go online at www.tommeetippee.us and click on the recall button at the bottom of homepage for more information and/or call toll-free at 877-248-6922 anytime during the week and from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. ET Saturday.

The product, in the report: Tommee Tipper bottle warmer, white

I was using a tommee tipper bottle warmer for my newborn I pulled the bottle out to feed him and didn’t unplug it immediately but about 5 minutes later while I was feeding him my daughter reached up on the counter and knocked it over. It gave her second degree burns through her clothes on her chest. We had to go to the emergency room. The warmer was only on for about 10 minutes total and was up high on the counter. The water was so hot my husband watched her skin peel it was horrific. If the bottle warmer had an automatic shutoff like other products of its kind or had a max temperature that wasn’t that hot this accident could have been prevented or not been as severe.

The company’s comments, in its own words

(11/17/2014) MAYBORN USA INC: We were very sorry to hear about the unfortunate accident involving one of our products and our consumer’s daughter, and hope that she is making a full recovery Upon review, our records indicate that our consumer has decided not to return the product for assessment therefore we are unable to investigate any potential fault at this time. From the description provided it seems however that our consumer’s daughter was able to access the unit which was situated on a kitchen bench, whilst the warmer was still switched on and heating water. From the description of the incident, there appears to be no fault apparent with the product. The instructions for our electric food and bottle warmer clearly state to unplug when not in use and to supervise children to ensure that they do not play with the appliance due to there being hot water present. Although we state that there appears to be no fault apparent with the product at this point in the investigation, we acknowledge the statement regarding the temperature of the water. The temperature on the unit is set to ensure that it can fulfil its function, which is to bring a bottle or jar of food up to the correct feeding temperature, ready to serve. The water in the unit therefore needs to be at an optimum temperature to heat within the guidelines set out, taking up to 20-minutes to heat dependant on the size of the bottle or jar and the initial temperature e.g. straight from fridge or from room temperature. Heating guidelines can be found in our instructions for use.

The product, in the report: Tommee Tippee electric bottle warmer

The Tommee Tippee bottle warmer does not automatically shut off. I believe this can be a fire hazard. We went for a walk and around an hour later the warmer was still running and was without water at this time due to it being evaporated.

The company’s comments, in its own words

(7/18/2011) MAYBORN USA INC: The Tommee Tippee bottle warmer is UL approved and safety tested by indepentent laboratories.
The results of this investigation, including construction review and testing, indicate that the product evaluated complies with the applicable requirements for Electric Household Cooking and Food Serving Appliances, UL 1026, Fifth Edition, dated January 31, 2007 and the Canadian Standards for Portable Electrical Motor-Operated and Heating Appliances: General Requirements, C22.2 No. 1335.1-93, First Edition, dated January, 1993, reaffirmed 2008 and Portable Electrical Motor-Operated and Heating Appliances: Particular Requirements for Liquid-Heating Appliances, C22.2 No. 1335.2.15-93, First Edition, dated January, 1993, revised August, 1994, reaffirmed 2008’
The bottle warmer includes a mechanical thermo switch which switches off the power to the heating element when the water/element temperature reaches the desired temperature. When the temperature falls the thermo switch will switch on the power to the heating element again and the cycle continues. The aim of the electrical construction is to keep the water within a constant temperature range.
To eliminate any risk of overheating a safety device – a thermal fuse is included within the electrical circuit. If the heating element continues to increase in temperature, without the interruption of the thermo switch, the thermal fuse – which is mounted directly on the element, will fuse and break the circuit, therefore creating an open circuit. This stops an electrical current passing through to the heating element and therefore the function of the heating element is stopped. Once this fuse is ‘blown’ the unit will not heat and cannot be used again.
The Tommee Tippee Bottle Warmer is fully compliant with all legislative requirements for consumer electrical appliances of this type sold within the USA and Canada.
