SNOOZ Breez Recall: How to Check the Smart Fan and Get a Replacement

If you own a SNOOZ Breez 2-in-1 Smart Bedroom Fan and White Noise Machine, this is the kind of smart-home update worth checking immediately instead of batching for later.

On April 9, 2026, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission said certain units were recalled because a power connector inside the fan can corrode, overheat, and pose a fire risk.

Which product is affected

The recall involves the Breez 2-in-1 Smart Bedroom Fan and White Noise Machine.

The CPSC describes it as:

  • a white fan with a beige stand
  • a combination white-noise machine and air-circulation fan
  • a product with smart features in the companion app
  • a unit with a removable barrel power jack

The serial number is on the underside of the fan’s wooden base.

Which serial numbers are included

The CPSC says affected serial numbers begin with:

  • BZ10
  • BZ02
  • KTCD

That is the fastest home check.

Do not assume your unit is clear just because it looks newer or has not shown problems yet. The serial prefix is the official first filter.

Why it was recalled

The CPSC says the power connector inside the fan can corrode and cause the fan to overheat.

At the time of the notice, the agency said the company had reports of:

  • six overheating and smoking cases
  • one report of fire
  • no reported injuries or property damage

No-injury language does not make a fire-risk recall low priority. It usually means you are getting the warning before worse outcomes pile up.

The practical checklist

1. Check the serial number on the base

Flip the unit and inspect the underside of the wooden base.

If the serial number starts with BZ10, BZ02, or KTCD, treat it as included in the recall unless the company says otherwise on the live remedy page.

2. Stop using the fan immediately

The CPSC’s instruction is not “watch for symptoms.”

It says consumers should stop using the recalled fan immediately.

That is the safest default even if the fan has seemed normal so far.

3. Start the replacement claim

The CPSC says owners should go to the company’s recall page to register for a replacement fan.

It also says consumers will be asked to:

  • cut the power cord
  • upload a photo of the cut cord
  • upload a photo of the adapter showing the model number and printed information

That means it is smart to take clear photos before you start the claim flow.

4. Do not confuse it with other SNOOZ products

The CPSC specifically says Breez 2nd Generation sound machines are not affected.

That does not automatically clear every SNOOZ product in your home, but it does mean the recall is not a blanket warning for the whole brand.

5. Re-check where the device has been used

Because this is a heat and fire-risk issue, it is worth reviewing where the fan has been running or charging:

  • on nightstands
  • near bedding
  • in nurseries
  • beside curtains or other soft materials

If the recalled unit has been part of a sleep-space setup, that is another reason to stop first and troubleshoot later.

Where these were sold

The CPSC says the recalled fans were sold online at:

  • Amazon
  • Shopify
  • Kickstarter
  • other small retailers

The sale window listed by CPSC runs from June 2023 through December 2025, with a listed price around $200.

That span is long enough that many owners may no longer be watching purchase emails or app notifications closely.

What this recall does and does not mean

This recall means the CPSC and company identified a specific smart-fan fire risk tied to certain units.

It does not automatically mean:

  • every SNOOZ device is recalled
  • the fan is safe because it has not failed yet
  • you should keep using it until a replacement ships

The simplest safe path is:

  1. check the serial prefix
  2. stop using the unit if it matches
  3. follow the official replacement process

Frequently asked questions

How do I know if my SNOOZ Breez fan is part of the recall?
Check the serial number on the underside of the wooden base. CPSC says units with serial numbers beginning with BZ10, BZ02, or KTCD are included.
Can I keep using it if it never overheated before?
The CPSC says owners should stop using the recalled fan immediately. Prior normal use does not remove the recall risk.
What proof does the replacement process require?
According to CPSC, consumers will be asked to cut the power cord and upload a photo of the cut cord plus a photo of the adapter showing the model number and printed information.
