Playtex Adds Production Lot to its March 2014 Voluntary Recall of Certain AC/DC Power Adapters used with the Playtex® Nurser Deluxe Double Electric Breast Pump

SHELTON, Conn., Sept. 9, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Energizer Personal Care – Playtex Manufacturing, Inc. announced today that, out of an abundance of caution, it is adding an adapter production lot to its voluntary nationwide recall of certain AC/DC power adapters that are used with the Playtex® Nurser Deluxe Double Electric Breast Pump. No injuries have been reported to date.

In March 2014, Playtex announced a voluntary recall of certain AC/DC power adapters because the casing on some adapters may come loose and separate, resulting in a potential for electric shock. After further evaluation and investigation, Playtex has added one adapter production lot to the recall.

Alternatively, the product can be identified by adapter production code (1238 through 1324). The adapters were sold along with the Playtex Nurser Deluxe Double Electric Breast Pump. They were not sold separately.

The Playtex Nurser Deluxe Double Electric Breast Pump was sold at nationwide, specialty and online retailers. Playtex is notifying its retail partners to return any remaining products with affected AC/DC adapters.

Consumers who have purchased an affected product should contact Playtex for a replacement by calling 1-888-207-1429 from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. ET Monday through Friday or online at www.playtexproducts.com. Consumers should immediately discontinue use of the adapter if it shows signs of separating.
