December 10, 2025 – A recent incident report highlights a potential safety concern with the Nanit N301USCWM22168ZY baby camera, manufactured by Udisense Inc. A consumer reported that a metal pin detached from the camera when it was disconnected from its stand, subsequently falling into a toddler’s crib. The loose metal piece was later discovered by the toddler, fortunately before any harm occurred.
Product Details
Incident Overview
The incident occurred on November 22, 2025, when a consumer was disconnecting their Nanit N301USCWM22168ZY camera from its stand, an action intended and part of normal product use. During this process, one of the small metal pins, crucial for the camera’s connection, became loose and fell. Unbeknownst to the parent at the time, the pin landed inside their child’s crib. The camera still appeared to function normally upon re-connection. The following day, the consumer’s toddler discovered the loose metal piece in the crib and handed it to them. The report emphasized the fortunate outcome, noting that the child did not put the pin in their mouth or any other potentially dangerous body part.
Safety Concerns
This incident raises significant safety concerns, particularly regarding the welfare of infants and toddlers in the vicinity of the product:
- Immediate Dangers: The primary immediate danger is a choking hazard. Small metal pieces, like the pin described, are perfectly sized to become lodged in a young child’s airway, leading to choking, suffocation, or aspiration. For a toddler, there is also a risk of ingestion, which can lead to internal injuries.
- Long-Term Risks: If a metal pin were to be ingested, it could potentially cause internal injuries such as gastrointestinal blockage, perforation of the digestive tract, or other internal damage. Depending on the metal’s composition, there could also be risks associated with corrosion or leaching of harmful substances.
- Who Might Be Affected: Infants, toddlers, and young children sleeping or playing in a crib where the Nanit camera is mounted are directly at risk. Parents and caregivers who may be unaware of a detached part are also affected by the potential danger posed to their children.
- Property Damage Potential: While the main risk is to personal safety, a loose metal component could potentially scratch or damage the crib, other furniture, or personal belongings if it falls unnoticed. However, this is a minor concern compared to the risk of injury to a child.
What Consumers Should Do
If you own a Nanit N301USCWM22168ZY camera, it is crucial to take proactive steps to ensure the safety of your child:
- Immediate Steps: Carefully inspect your Nanit N301USCWM22168ZY camera and its stand, particularly the connection points. Do this when your child is not in the crib or play area to prevent any accidental exposure to loose parts. If you find any loose, detached, or damaged metal pins, immediately remove the camera from the child’s environment and secure the loose part out of reach.
- How to Check: Examine the camera unit and the stand where they connect. Look for any pins that appear loose, wobbly, or are missing from their designated slots. Pay close attention after disconnecting the camera for cleaning or repositioning. Visually inspect the crib area, especially the mattress and sheets, for any foreign objects immediately after handling the camera.
- Prevention Measures: Always ensure that children are not present when you are handling or inspecting electronic devices mounted near their sleeping or play areas. Regularly check the crib and surrounding area for any fallen objects. If you frequently disconnect the camera, consider minimizing this action or performing it over a soft, light-colored surface where a fallen pin would be easily visible.
- Reporting Procedures: If you experience a similar incident or discover any defect with your Nanit N301USCWM22168ZY camera, report it immediately to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) at SaferProducts.gov. You should also contact Udisense Inc., the manufacturer, directly to report the issue.
