The reports, as CPSC published them

Reports people made to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. CPSC publishes each one after sending it to the company named, and doesn’t guarantee they’re accurate. A report isn’t a recall.

Each report is the words of the person who made it, as CPSC published them. The company’s comments, where CPSC published any, are set apart as the company’s own.

  1. No one hurt

    Made Dec 8, 2018, sent to the company Jan 29, 2019, published by CPSC Feb 12, 2019

    The product, in the report: https://www.samsung.com/us/smart-home/security/baby-monitors/brightview-baby-video-monitoring-system-sew-3043w/

    My product has not actually proven to be unsafe yet. But when researching it online I see many reviews siting how their battery has swelled (like mine), and in some cases exploded.

    The product is the Samsung Wireless Baby Monitor - Model# SEW-3043WN and the battery pack model is 455271PHV.

    A few days ago the backing to the baby monitor popped off and wouldn’t fit back on. That’s when I noticed the swelling. I tried to go online to order a new battery. That is when I noticed all of the reviews: [REDACTED]

    I’ve got two of these monitors running in my house and it worries me that there is danger of fire because of the batteries. I tried to go back to the amazon page where I ordered them to inquire about returning them, but those pages have been taken down. I assume the seller has stopped selling these because of this issue.

    It just seems like something that should be recalled.
