Philips Avent digital baby monitors recalled over fears they could catch fire
DIGITAL baby monitors made by Philips have been recalled over fears they could catch fire when they're being used.
The warning has been issued for all seven models in the Philips Avent SCD620 series, which were sold by retailers such as Amazon and Mothercare.
Philips founds that the battery could overheat while the monitor is plugged in, making it a potential fire hazard.
In a notice issued on the manufacturer's website, Philips said that the incident only occurs in "very rare cases".
Affected models have a product code of either SCD620/79, SCD620/78, SCD620/93, SCD620/52, SCD620/26, SCD620/05 or SCD620/01.
You can find the product type number (SCD620) printed on the sticker on the bottom of the monitor.
The serial number can be found on a separate sticker on the bottom of the monitor.
If yours starts with either TM5A, TM5B or TM5C then it's worth double checking online.
It's the latest in a string of baby products that have had to be recalled over safety fears.
A travel seat for babies sold on Amazon has been pulled because it could potentially strangle tots.
Argos recalled a model of its Cuggl stair gates after a toddler got her leg trapped between the bars.
And Ikea urgently recalled bibs after it found that the buttons on them could come loose and become a potential choking hazard.
