The product, in the report: Mybaby humidifier and sound machine made by Homedics
We have a Mybaby sound machine and humidifier made by Homedics. The device is half humidifier (top-half) and half sound machine (bottom-half). We use it as a noise machine and humidifier in the winter and as just a noise machine in the summer.
We were using just the sound machine (bottom-half) and placed it on the carpet floor outside of our baby’s [playpen]. The speaker (for the noise machine) is underneath the device so we turned it upside down to prevent the noise from being muffled by the carpet.
We noticed a smell, similar to burning plastic, coming from our baby’s room. The topside portion of the device that was touching the carpet, just inches away from the [playpen] in which our baby was sleeping, was burning and melting.
