Brower Recalls Top Hatch Egg Incubators Due to Fire Hazard

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Brower is recalling approximately 2,500 Top Hatch Egg Incubators because the base can ignite during use. This recall involves the Model TH120, a round light gray plastic unit with a clear top used for hatching various types of eggs. There have been three reports of fires resulting in property damage, though no injuries have been reported. These units were sold at Mills Fleet Farm, Stromberg's Chick and Gamebirds, Unlimited, and other farm supply stores between January 2009 and September 2010. Consumers should stop using the incubator immediately and contact the manufacturer for a free replacement base.

Risk

The incubator's base can catch fire while in operation, which poses a serious risk of fire and property damage to consumers.

What You Should Do

  1. Identify if you have the recalled incubator by checking for Model TH120 on the side of the original packaging box. The unit itself is round, light gray plastic, 18 inches in diameter and 12 inches tall, with a clear plastic top engraved with 'THIS SIDE UP.'
  2. Check the internal components by looking at the crank arm located in the base; the recalled model has a crank arm that snaps into place on the turner motor rather than being connected by a screw.
  3. Immediately stop using the recalled egg incubator and unplug it from the power source.
  4. Contact Brower at (800) 553-1791 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. CT Monday through Friday, or visit www.browerequip.com/recall.pdf to request a free replacement base.
  5. For additional questions, call the CPSC Hotline at 800-638-2772.
