Love To Dream Sleep Machines Recalled for Fire, Burn Hazard: CPSC

An overheating lithium-ion battery is behind a new recall of portable sleep machines marketed for babies and toddlers. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission announced on September 24, 2026, that Love To Dream, Inc. is recalling about 4,000 of its Portable Sleep Machines with Night Light after finding the units can overheat and pose fire and burn hazards to consumers.

The recall covers a specific batch of the popular nursery device, which combines soothing sounds, adjustable volume and a built-in nightlight in a portable, handled unit. Parents who purchased one in the past year and a half are being urged to check the model number right away.

What Triggered the Recall

According to the CPSC, the lithium-ion battery inside the recalled sleep machines can overheat if it is charged with a charger that is not compatible with the unit. That overheating creates a risk of fire and burns for anyone nearby, including the infants and young children the product is designed to soothe. No injuries or incidents had been reported as of the recall announcement, but the commission classified it as a Fast Track Recall, a designation used when a firm agrees to act quickly after CPSC staff identifies a hazard.

Who Should Be Concerned

The sleep machines were sold at Target and Nordstrom stores nationwide, as well as online at lovetodream.com, Amazon.com, Walmartmarketplace.com, babylist.com and poshmommy.com. They were available from February 2025 through September 2026 for roughly $60. Love To Dream, Inc., based in Wilmington, Delaware, imported the units, which were manufactured in China. Because the product was sold broadly through major national retailers and online marketplaces, the recall’s reach is effectively nationwide rather than limited to specific states.

What Consumers Need to Do Now

Anyone with an affected unit should stop using it immediately. Consumers are instructed to register at lovetodream.com/recall to receive a full refund, and they will need the model number and date code from the side of their unit when they do. Refunds will be issued either by electronic payment or store credit once the recall registration confirms the unit is included.

As part of the process, consumers will be asked to write ‘RECALL’ on the front of the sleep machine in permanent black marker and to attest that they disposed of the unit according to local and state regulations. The CPSC stresses that the lithium-ion battery inside cannot simply be thrown in household trash or placed in curbside recycling bins or standard battery recycling boxes at retail stores, since damaged lithium-ion batteries carry an elevated fire risk. Instead, owners should check whether their municipal household hazardous waste collection center accepts this type of battery or device before dropping it off, and contact their municipality for guidance if it does not.
