Hisense is recalling about 81,800 Babysense Max View baby monitors because the display unit can overheat or spark while charging. There have been 11 reports of these display units malfunctioning, though no injuries have been reported so far. The recalled monitors were sold online at Amazon, Walmart, and Babylist between January 2023 and December 2025 for about $90 to $180. Consumers should stop using the display unit and contact Hisense for a free replacement.
The parent display unit can overheat or spark during the charging process, creating a fire hazard in the home. Because these devices contain lithium-ion batteries, they must be disposed of as hazardous waste rather than in regular trash or recycling.
Consumers should stop using the display unit of the Max View baby monitors immediately and contact Hisense for a free replacement display unit that does not pose a fire hazard.
The model number VBM55RX is on the back of the display unit; VBM55 is the system model number. The recall only involves the parent display unit, not the camera component.
