ITHACA, NY (607NewsNow) – The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission is putting parents on alert.

Officials say the display unit of Babysense Max View Baby Monitors can overheat or spark while charging, posing a fire risk.

The camera component placed in the child’s bedroom is not the malfunctioning unit. There have been 11 incidents involving the display unit, but no injuries have been reported.

Manufactured by Hisense, the recall applies to Model VBM55RX. The display unit has a “5.5” HD 1080P” printed on the upper left side of the monitor screen.

The recall only applies to the display (bottom) unit. Credit: cpsc.gov

Nearly 82,000 were sold on Amazon.com, Walmart.com, and babylist.com from January 2023 through December 2025. Customers are advised to immediately discontinue using the display unit and contact Hisense for a free replacement.

Customers are reminded that the lithium-ion battery in the recalled product may not be disposed of in the trash or regular recycling stream.
