About 919,400 devices were sold in the U.S. and 44,352 were sold in Canada, the commission said. The power adapter was not sold separately.

Some of the Rest 1st Generation sound machines were sold between January 2019 and September 2022 via Hatch, Amazon, BuyBuyBaby. Target, Walmart, Nordstrom, Pottery Barn Kids and Best Buy stores nationwide. They cost between $60 and $70 at the time.

They were also sold via Amazon between January 2019 through May 2024 for between $60 and $200.
