Magnetic Micro-USB Cable
Since our founding, Nodiee’s operations have been guided by a strong commitment to producing quality products. As such, our products are rigorously tested to ensure we provide our consumers with safe products to make their jobs as parents easier.
After recently receiving feedback from one parent, we discovered a manufacturing defect may occur inside the magnetic micro-USB cable we supplied with our original Sleep Assist model. This can cause the USB connection point to overheat and melt which poses as a potential fire hazard.
This is an isolated issue which only affects the micro-USB charging cable including the small magnetic piece, not the white noise machine itself. All other non-magnetic cables that were supplied with our machines are 100% safe for use.
Working closely with the ACCC, we have issued a voluntary product recall on the magnetic micro-USB charging cable supplied with the Sleep Assist Model sold between 20th May 2021 and 8th December 2021.
We are encouraging customers who were supplied this cable with their purchase to immediately unplug and remove the magnetic connection piece from the machine. They should then safely dispose of both parts using the correct method like e-waste recycling.
For customers to claim their refund and give us evidence of the safe disposal of the cable, they can fill out the form on our website using the below link.
Please respect, as a new small business this is a devastating blow. We are extremely saddened by this situation and sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this has caused our customers.
