Lorex has recalled about 26,000 Care 'N' Share video baby monitors because the blue lithium polymer batteries can overheat and swell. There have been 488 reports of batteries expanding, with 140 of those cases causing the monitor's plastic casing to break open or fall off, exposing consumers to hot internal components. These monitors were sold in white or black borders at retailers like Babies "R" Us, Target, and Best Buy between May 2013 and April 2016. Consumers should immediately stop using these monitors and contact Lorex for a full refund.
The monitor's battery can overheat and expand with enough force to pop the battery cover off, exposing the hot battery pack. This poses a direct burn hazard to anyone handling the device.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled monitors and contact Lorex to receive a full refund.
