If you or someone in your family uses a Baby Brezza countertop sterilizer for bottles, it is time to flip it over and read the label. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission announced on Nov. 5, 2026 that Baby Brezza SuperFast Sterilizer Dryers can overheat while plugged in and operating.
The company has received 32 reports of units overheating or the plastic housing melting. No injuries have been reported.
The recall is listed on the CPSC website as recall 27-072. Read the original here.
About 29,000 Units In The U.S., And 4,500 In Canada
The recall covers about 29,000 units sold in the United States, plus about 4,500 sold in Canada. It is also coordinated with Canadian authorities.
The SuperFast Sterilizer Dryer is a countertop appliance with push-button controls. It sterilizes and dries baby bottles, breast pump parts and accessories in ten minutes, which is why so many busy parents love it.
The Surface Can Get Hot Enough To Burn
According to the CPSC, the units can overheat while plugged in and operating. That creates a burn risk if someone touches the surface.
In 32 cases, the units overheated or the plastic housing melted. A melted housing on a kitchen counter is the kind of problem nobody wants near a baby’s bottles.
Sold At TJ Maxx And Marshalls For $160 To $180
The sterilizers were sold at TJ Maxx and Marshalls stores nationwide, and online at babybrezza.com, target.com and babylist.com. They were sold from January 2024 through October 2026 for $160 to $180.
That is nearly three years of sales, so a unit from a baby shower or a registry could be sitting in a kitchen right now. Grandparents who keep a set of bottles at their own house should check too.
Which Models Are Included
The affected models are BRZ0083, BRZ0154 and BRZ0156. The model number is printed on the label on the bottom of the unit.
Baby Brezza Enterprises LLC of Newark, New Jersey is the importer, and the units were made in China.
Stop Using It, Cut The Cord, Get A Free Replacement
The CPSC says to stop using the unit immediately. The remedy is a free replacement, with shipping included.
To get it, you first register at the company’s recall page, babybrezza.com/pages/about?view=v3-recalls, and complete the recall form. Next, unplug the unit and cut the power cord.
Then email photos of the model number label and the destroyed unit, along with the return authorization number, to [email protected]. After that, dispose of the unit according to your local and state rules.
You can also call Baby Brezza toll-free at 888-527-9824, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET, Monday through Friday.
Keeping Bottles Clean While You Wait
Parents may wonder how to keep bottles safe without the machine for a few days. The simplest answer is the old-fashioned one. Wash bottles, nipples and pump parts in hot, soapy water, rinse them well and let them air dry on a clean rack or towel.
If you want to sanitize them, boiling bottles and parts in a pot of water for several minutes is a long-standing method, and many bottle makers describe it in their care guides. Check the instructions that came with your own bottles first, since some plastics and nipples have their own limits.
Wash your hands before handling clean bottles, and store them in a clean, covered spot once they are dry.
Small Appliance Safety Habits For Every Kitchen
This recall is a reminder to take a look at the small appliances on your counters. Keep anything that heats up away from the edge of the counter, out of reach of curious toddlers, and never leave it running while you leave the house.
If a plastic housing ever feels unusually hot, smells like burning or looks warped, unplug it and stop using it. Take a picture and check whether the brand has posted a recall notice.
Write down the model numbers of your baby gear and keep them in a note on your phone. When a recall comes along, you can check in seconds instead of digging under the unit.
You can also sign up for free email alerts from the CPSC at CPSC.gov, so that recalls for baby products come straight to your inbox.
And if you spot a recalled item at a yard sale or in a hand-me-down box, pass on it. The best thing a family can do for a recalled sterilizer is to make sure it never gets plugged in again.
What To Do If You Bought One As A Gift
Sterilizers like this one are popular baby shower gifts and registry picks. If you gave one to a daughter, a niece or a friend, a quick call or text could save them a scare.
Tell them the three model numbers, BRZ0083, BRZ0154 and BRZ0156, and where to find the label on the bottom of the unit. Remind them that the fix is free and the replacement ships at no charge.
If you bought it secondhand or received a hand-me-down, the recall still applies. The age of the unit does not matter if the model number matches.
Keep the confirmation emails from the recall process until the new unit arrives, just in case you need to follow up.
