Approximately 81,800 baby monitors have been recalled due to a fire hazard, according to the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission.
The parent display unit on the Hisense Babysense Max View Baby Monitors is reported to potentially overheat and/or spark when charging, leading to a fire hazard. Hisense said it received 11 incident reports related to the issue, however, no injuries were reported prior to the recall on February 26.
The recall involves the Babysense Max View Baby Monitor with model number VBM55.
“The reported issue involves the display unit (also referred to as the parent unit) that allows the parents to see and hear the baby (not the camera component that is placed in the child’s bedroom). The display unit has “5.5” HD 1080P” printed on the upper left side of the monitor screen and the “babysense” logo on the lower portion of the monitor screen. The model number, “VBM55RX,” is printed on the product identification label on the back of the display unit,” the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission stated in its recall.
The monitors were sold online through Amazon, Walmart and BabyList.com between January 2023 and December 2025 at prices ranging from $90 to $180. Consumers are advised to immediately stop using the display unit on the recalled baby monitors and contact Hisense for a free replacement display that won’t pose a fire hazard.
