Levana Wireless Video Baby Monitors Recall

August17

CPSC in cooperation with Circus World Displays has asked consumers to stop using the Levana Wireless video baby monitors.  The wiring in the baby monitor camera can overheat and emit smoke, posing a burn hazard to consumers.  There have been several reports of the camera portion of the monitors overheating and smoking. No injuries have been reported.

This recall involves Levana wireless baby monitors with model number LV-TW300. The receiver front is white and green with six round buttons and the printed word “Levana”. It is 7 inches tall and includes a stand/base. The camera is all white, about 5 inches tall and is attached to a 3 1/2 inch long white base. The camera can rotate and swivel in various directions. The camera and receiver each has its own A/C adapter.

The product is manufactured in China and sold at BB Buggy & Health and Safety stores nationwide and on the Internet between February 2010 and May 2010 for about $200.

Consumers should immediately stop using and return the baby monitor directly to CWD for a refund or replacement with a different model. For additional information, contact Circus World Displays toll-free at (866) 946-7828
