Boots has urged customers to cease use of a sleep machine immediately following the identification of a safety issue that has prompted a nationwide product withdrawal.
The Love to Dream Sleep Machine has been removed from all store shelves after investigations revealed that the device poses a burn hazard and a potential fire risk when charged with certain power adapters not included in the original packaging.
According to Boots, connecting the product to incompatible charging equipment may cause the lithium-ion battery to overheat, creating a fire hazard that could result in serious burns or property damage.
The products affected by this recall were available for purchase from January 2, 2025, through September 3, 2026.
Only three specific date codes are included in the recall: 7T12TN, 7W15TN, and 8P01TN.
These codes appear on the side of the machine itself or on the rear of the product packaging.
Customers who have already purchased this item have been advised to immediately discontinue use, disconnect it from any power source, and store it in a secure location away from flammable materials.
Further instructions for safe disposal and details regarding refunds or replacements are available through the official Love to Dream recall website.
The product must be disposed of according to local regulations for lithium-ion batteries and should not be placed in household waste or recycling containers.
