Approximately 81,800 Babysense Max View Baby Monitors are included in the recall,  model number VBM55RX. The defect affects only the “parent” display unit, not the camera component that’s placed in a child’s bedroom. And it doesn’t affect the Max Pro units or any other Babysense monitor. The monitors were sold on Amazon.com, Walmart.com, and babylist.com between January 2023 and December 2025. They cost between $90 and $180.

Consumers are urged to discard the product at their municipal hazardous waste collection centers. The monitor contains a lithium-ion battery and must be disposed of differently from other battery-powered devices to avoid a risk of fire.
