Note: Do not throw this recalled device in the trash, in the general recycling stream (e.g., street-level or curbside recycling bins), or in used battery recycling boxes found at various retail and home improvement stores. Recalled lithium-ion batteries must be disposed of differently than other batteries, because they present a greater risk of fire. Your municipal household hazardous waste (HHW) collection center may accept this recalled lithium-ion battery or device for disposal. Before taking your battery or device to a HHW collection center, contact that office ahead of time and ask whether it accepts recalled lithium-ion batteries.

When an electrical short occurs, the rechargeable battery can cause the monitor's \"parent\" unit to smoke and flame. Gerry has received one report of flames and four reports of smoke coming from the monitor's parent unit. No injuries or property damage have been reported. The Gerry Clear Choice rechargeable baby monitor being recalled is Model 618. The model number is found on a silver plate on the front of the monitor's AC adapter. The monitor consists of a \"baby\" unit, a parent unit, a recharging base for the parent unit and AC adapters. All of the units are white with a light blue accent color. Because it houses the battery, only the parent unit presents the hazard. Mass merchandise and baby stores throughout the United States sold the baby monitors from April 1996 to March 1998 for about $40. Consumers should disconnect and throw away the blue battery pack from the parent unit immediately. Consumers should contact Evenflo's Parent Link Consumer Resource Center at (800) 233-5921 for assistance (Gerry Baby Products is out of business, but the Evenflo Company has now taken over in responding to this recall). This recall is not related to the October 1996 recall of 990,000 Gerry model 602 baby monitors.

Wires inside the monitor may be improperly connected, resulting in the product overheating with the possibility of the monitor causing fire. Another contributing factor is when blankets or other bedding are placed around or on top of the monitor blocking ventilation. Gerry urges consumers to read all product warnings and instructions accompanying all monitors. Consumers should not place any monitor in the crib, among blankets or bedding, or in any position that interferes with ventilation for the monitor. Gerry is aware of one fire without injuries involving a Model 602 monitor with this manufacturing error. This information was brought to CPSC's attention by a member of the International Association of Arson Investigators (IAAI). In addition, CPSC has also received reports alleging Model 602 Baby Monitor involvement in two other fires, including one with a fatality and an injury, and 13 incidents of the monitors getting warm to the touch, including one skin burn. Gerry stated that only one report (no injuries) of these 16 claims was conclusively determined to have been caused by the Model 602 monitor. The two-piece monitor sets resemble walkie-talkies. The monitors have pale gray and royal blue plastic casing. A red \"on\" light and a blue \"Gerry\" label appear on the front of each monitor. The back of the monitors are embossed with \"GERRY DELUXE BABY MONITOR MODEL 602\" and the manufacturer's date code. The date code appears as a circle of numbers, with an arrow pointing to the number of the month and the two-digit year number on either side of the arrow. This recall involves monitors with date codes \"8806\" (June 1988) through \"9005\" (May 1990). Juvenile product and baby supply stores and department stores sold the recalled monitors nationwide from June 1988 through May 1990. The monitors were packaged in blue cardboard boxes labeled in part, \"Gerry Deluxe Baby Monitor...Listen to Your Baby from any Home Location...Gerry Baby Safetronics...\" Consumers should contact Evenflo's Parent Link Consumer Resource Center at (800) 233-5921 for assistance (Gerry Baby Products is out of business, but the Evenflo Company has now taken over in responding to this recall).","URL":"https://www.cpsc.gov/Recalls/1997/CPSC-Gerry-Baby-Products-Announce-Model-602-Deluxe-Baby-Monitor-Recall","Title":"Deluxe Baby Monitor Recalled by Gerry Baby Products","ConsumerContact":null,"LastPublishDate":"1996-10-03T00:00:00","Products":[{"Name":"Gerry Deluxe Baby Monitors","Description":"","Model":"","Type":"Baby Monitors","CategoryID":"1833","NumberOfUnits":""}],"Inconjunctions":[],"Images":[],"Injuries":[],"Manufacturers":[{"Name":"Gerry","CompanyID":""}],"Retailers":[],"Importers":[],"Distributors":[],"SoldAtLabel":null,"ManufacturerCountries":[],"ProductUPCs":[],"Hazards":[{"Name":"Fire & Fire-Related Burn","HazardType":"","HazardTypeID":""}],"Remedies":[],"RemedyOptions":[]}]
