Consumers can then contact Infanttech for a free replacement battery. Infanttech is contacting all known purchasers.

The recalled monitors were sold online at infanttech.com and Amazon.com from January 2022 through May 2023 for between $130 and $190. They have battery model number HJ554050 batch 2136, which is shown on the battery itself.
