Standfirst: The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission announced on November 5, 2026 that Baby Brezza is recalling about 29,000 SuperFast Sterilizer Dryers because they can overheat and the plastic housing can melt, posing a burn hazard. The recall covers models BRZ0083, BRZ0154 and BRZ0156, and 32 reports of overheating or melting have been received so far. No injuries have been reported. Families who own one should stop using it and register for a free replacement.
What was recalled
- Product: The recall covers the Baby Brezza SuperFast Sterilizer Dryer, a countertop appliance that sterilizes and dries baby bottles, breast pump parts and accessories in 10 minutes.
- Recall announcement: The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, known as the CPSC, announced the recall on November 5, 2026. The CPSC recall number is 27072.
- Units affected: About 29,000 of the sterilizer dryers were sold in the United States, plus about 4,500 in Canada.
- What the appliance does: The SuperFast Sterilizer Dryer sits on a kitchen counter and handles a job that new parents repeat many times a day. It sterilizes baby bottles, breast pump parts and accessories, and then dries them, all in a single 10-minute cycle. That speed is a big part of why the product appeals to families with a newborn, where clean bottles are needed around the clock.
Which models are affected
- Models recalled: The recall covers three models of the SuperFast Sterilizer Dryer: BRZ0083, BRZ0154 and BRZ0156.
- Where to find the model number: The model number is printed on a label on the bottom of the machine. To check it, unplug the sterilizer dryer first, then turn it over and read the label on the base.
- Check before you use it again: If the model number on the bottom label matches one of the three recalled models, the machine is part of the recall and should not be used again. If the model number is different, it is not covered by this recall.
- Why the model number matters: Baby Brezza sells more than one sterilizer dryer, and only these three models are covered by recall number 27072. Do not guess from the color or the shape of the machine. The model number on the bottom label is what counts.
The overheating hazard
- The hazard: The sterilizer dryer can overheat when it is plugged in and in use, and the plastic housing can melt. That poses a burn hazard.
- What overheating means here: The reports describe the appliance getting too hot during normal use, while it is plugged in and running a cycle. In some cases the plastic outer housing has melted. A melting plastic housing is a clear sign that the appliance has gone past safe operating temperatures, and it can burn skin on contact.
- Do not keep using it: The recall applies whether or not your own machine has shown a problem. The safe move is to stop using it now and switch to one of the alternatives below while the replacement is on its way.
Reports so far
- Reports received: Baby Brezza has received 32 reports of the products overheating or the plastic housing melting.
- Injuries: No injuries have been reported in the United States in connection with the recalled sterilizer dryers.
- What the reports tell us: The pattern in the reports is consistent: the appliance overheats, and the plastic housing melts. The CPSC issued the recall because that pattern points to a real burn hazard, not a one-off fault.
- What to do if yours overheats: If your sterilizer dryer has overheated or its housing has melted, stop using it and unplug it. Do not try to repair it yourself or keep running it. The remedy for every recalled unit is the same: register for a free replacement, as described below.
Where the sterilizers were sold
- Stores: The recalled sterilizer dryers were sold at TJ Maxx and Marshalls stores nationwide.
- Online: They were also sold online at babybrezza.com, target.com and babylist.com.
- Sale dates: The recalled units were sold from January 2024 through October 2026.
- Price: They sold for between $160 and $180.
- How long the sales window was: The sales period runs for nearly three years, so the recalled units could be in homes that bought one recently or more than two years ago. If you bought one at any point in that window, check the model number on the bottom label.
What to do if you own one
- Stop using it: If you own a recalled Baby Brezza SuperFast Sterilizer Dryer, stop using it right away. Do not run another cycle, even if the machine looks fine and has never overheated.
- Unplug it: Unplug the sterilizer dryer from the wall. The hazard occurs when the appliance is plugged in and in use, so unplugging it removes the risk while you sort out the replacement.
- Check the model number: With the machine unplugged, turn it over and read the model number on the label on the bottom. If it is BRZ0083, BRZ0154 or BRZ0156, it is covered by the recall.
- Do not sell it or give it away: A recalled product should not be passed on to someone else. Do not sell it at a yard sale, list it online, or give it to another family. The recall remedy is a free replacement for the owner, and the recalled machine should stay out of use until that replacement arrives.
- Keep it somewhere safe: While you wait for the replacement, keep the unplugged sterilizer dryer somewhere it will not be plugged back in by mistake. Tell everyone in the household that the machine is recalled and must not be used.
How to get a free replacement
- Free replacement: Baby Brezza is offering a free replacement to owners of the recalled sterilizer dryers. The replacement is the SuperQuick 10 Minute Sterilizer Dryer Black.
- How to register: Owners should register on the Baby Brezza recall website to receive the free replacement. Registration is the step that starts the replacement process, so do it as soon as you have confirmed your model number.
- Help by email: Families can also email recall@babybrezza.com for help with the recall or with the replacement.
- What you will need: Before you register, have the model number from the label on the bottom of the machine ready. That number is what confirms your machine is covered.
Safe alternatives while you wait
- Boiling-water sterilizing: One safe alternative while you wait for the replacement is boiling-water sterilizing. This is the traditional way to sterilize baby bottles and parts, and it needs no special appliance.
- Dishwasher sanitize cycle: Another option is the dishwasher’s sanitize cycle, if your dishwasher has one. The sanitize cycle uses high heat to clean and sanitize the items placed inside it.
- Follow the bottle maker’s instructions: Whichever alternative you use, follow the bottle maker’s instructions for cleaning and sterilizing. Different bottles and pump parts have different care instructions, and the maker of your bottles knows what is safe for them. Do not use a method the bottle maker says to avoid.
What is happening in Canada
- Units in Canada: About 4,500 of the recalled sterilizer dryers were sold in Canada, in addition to the about 29,000 sold in the United States.
- Canadian incidents: Health Canada reported 20 incidents of overheating and melting among 6,001 units sold in Canada.
- Injuries in Canada: No injuries were reported in Canada as of October 29, 2026.
- Canadian model: The Canadian recall covers model BRZ0083, with UPC 886267008313.
- Same advice for Canadian families: If you are in Canada and your sterilizer dryer is model BRZ0083, stop using it, unplug it, and contact Baby Brezza for the free replacement.
Other recent recalls to check
- Kitchen products: This is not the only recent recall involving a burn risk in the kitchen. The Bodum French press recall over a burn risk covers a different product with a similar kind of hazard, and it is worth checking if you own one.
- Food recalls: If you want to check whether a food product in your kitchen is affected by a recall, our food recall check guide explains how to find out whether something in your kitchen is affected and what to do with it.
- Children’s products: Another recent recall affecting families is the Once Upon a Farm tractor wheels recall, which covers a children’s product. Checking these recalls together takes a few minutes and can catch a product you had forgotten about.
